Supporting Maternal Health Innovation for a Healthier Africa
Supporting entrepreneurs to develop innovative, sustainable, and scalable maternal health solutions that improve access to and the quality of maternal healthcare for women in Africa.
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.
