The Problem

Every year in African hospitals, thousands of people die because essential medical supplies could not be found on time and in the right condition. In Nigeria, the unavailability of blood is a major contributor to this issue. Example, Nigeria's blood shortage results from a combination of supply and logistics.

AND LifeBank guarantees affordability by helping health facilities manage their liquidity and deploying a cross subsidizing model for impact health facilities.
