“We believe that it’s not enough to invent a new, shiny solution that keeps people healthy if only a sliver of the world gets to benefit from it. Innovative health ideas are just the beginning. Getting them to the world, regardless of geography and economics, is just as crucial. For that reason, and many others, we’re proud to back Abdul Paravengal and his team at hav”, said, Unity Stoakes, Co-founder President, StartUp Health.
