Show notes

On this episode, I am joined by Sathy Rajasekharan ‒the Executive Director (Africa) at Jacaranda Health. Sathy offers compelling insights on what it means to build accessible, inclusive, and trusted digital health technologies that support hard-to-reach and last mile mothers across Kenya, and how digital technologies have a responsibility to give women a voice in the health system. You can learn more about Jacaranda Health by visiting: https://www.jacarandahealth.org/ If you have any thoughts on this episode, or recommendations of African health innovators that you’d like me to host on the show, please reach out to me directly on Twitter @DrSam_Oti, email: sam.oti@alumni.harvard.edu or via LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/samuel-oji-oti.
