Access to quality healthcare remains a significant challenges across Africa. But, healthcare data in Africa does exist, you just need to know how to find them!

My guest for this week’s episode is David, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Kapsule, the largest healthcare data provider in Africa, based by StartupBootcamp, FoundersFactory Africa, Google, and Villgro, to name a few.

Kapsule aggregates healthcare data from Hospitals, Insurers, and Pharmacies to build a clear picture of healthcare access and demand across multiple African countries. Just like he said: "If data is crude oil, Kapsule is oil refinery, helping identify drug demand, increase clinical trial capacity, do real-world studies, and inform donor strategies."
