Women’s health is essential for both individual wellbeing and economic progress. Poor health can limit women’s ability to work, save, run businesses, and absorb financial shocks. But the relationship also runs the other way: women entrepreneurs and innovators are often closest to the barriers women face in accessing health information, trusted products, quality medicines, and affordable care.
In this episode of Making Finance Work for Women, host Sonja Kelly explores women’s health through the lens of a woman entrepreneur, speaking with Abimbola Adebakin, Founder of Advantage Health Africa, about building myMedicines, a technology-enabled platform expanding access to quality medicines across Nigeria, and with Cristiane Lourenço from the Bayer Foundation about the support women health entrepreneurs need to grow solutions that strengthen households, communities, and economies.
