WGH/Novartis Foundation #BuildBackBetter Start-up Innovation Challenge

HIGH Tx Startup

Strategy Notes

The programme is a great fit for the applicant as it is a start-up innovation challenge focused on Africa, and the applicant's venture is an e-pharmacy/telepharmacy platform for Nigeria. The programme also has a specific criterion that the start-up must be (co-)founded by a woman, which aligns with the applicant's profile. The programme's focus on digital health infrastructure and prescription-drug-access in LMIC settings also aligns with the applicant's venture.
