"Africa faces significant healthcare challenges," says Mopelola Ajegbile, founder of Pishon Health.
"However, the continent is also brimming with talented innovators developing solutions specifically tailored to address these issues."
That's why Ajegbile has launched Pishon Health's Social Innovation Incubator, which aims to "bridge the gap, nurturing these innovations and empowering them to reach their full potential," she says in a press release.
The 12-week program, which starts in July, offers mentorship, capital, and advisory services worth up to $100,000 to early-stage innovators working in a variety of healthtech areas, including mental health, medical product development, maternal and child health, and health data management, TechBuild.
