In this new episode of ‘Narratives of Purpose’, Mariatheresa Samson Kadushi and Shamala Hinrichsen join host Claire Murigande to discuss the innovative app "SheHer" designed to advance women's health by providing accessible healthcare information and fostering a supportive community.

Both Shamala and Mariatheresa emphasise the importance of centring women's dignity in healthcare, highlighting the disparities that still exist in the industry.

They share their personal journeys into the health tech space and the biases female founders encounter when seeking funding, illustrating the broader societal challenges that persist even in progressive sectors like health tech.

By collaborating and leveraging their diverse backgrounds, Mariatheresa and Shamala, together with their three co-founders, aim to revolutionise women’s health and encourage others to join in this vital work.

This episode encourages a rethinking of how healthcare solutions are developed and delivered, advocating for a model that prioritises the voices and needs of women, particularly those from marginalised communities.
