Setup
With the power of a text message, the advice of a health worker fits in the palm of your hand. With innovative entrepreneurship, care becomes accessible where it previously was not. With the skill of a midwife, the pregnant woman in need of a champion thrives. Health systems may be complex, but what powers them is simple—the human beings at their backbone who are critical to transforming how we care. During this evening of storytelling, meet today’s global change makers who place care at the center of what they do—redefining the title of entrepreneur, championing the underserved, empowering communities, and making a world where everyone, everywhere, has access to quality healthcare.
