Nailab, in partnership with Amref, launched the Innovate 4 Life program, an initiative dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs developing innovative, sustainable, and scalable maternal health solutions for a healthier Africa. Running from 2017 to 2020 across Kenya, Uganda, and Nigeria, this program successfully completed three rounds, accelerating 15 impactful entrepreneurs from across Sub-Saharan Africa.
