Successes we’ve achieved with others
A maturing R&D portfolio prompted a Product Development Partnership (PDP) to introduce and embrace new strategies, tools and capabilities to support its goal of reaching neglected disease patients. We are advising and supporting the organization's transformation and change management process to ensure that the effort takes hold throughout the organisation in the near term and long term.
A diagnostic company wanted to leverage its COVID-19 PCR instrumentation for other disease indications. We were brought in to review their product pipeline and advise management on the relevant assays to prioritize for its expansion in Africa, resulting in clear recommendations to refocus company resources on specific high-value assays in specific early adopter countries.
A biotech company, developing a simple low-cost Tuberculosis test for low-and middle-income countries called on us to assess various commercialization and go-to-market approaches. Our experts recommended options that would maximize patient impact and shareholder value, and devised a high-level product introduction roadmap for the identified target countries
A global health organization tasked us with validating their market-shaping strategy for reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health (RMNCH) commodities. We conducted a three-month diagnostic that identified opportunities to prioritize key products, while dramatically improving the patient experience.
Our core values
Our firm was founded in response to the persistent demand for expertise that understands both the global healthcare landscape and the uniqueness of the African market. We consider ourselves as rebels, fighters and explorers that are challenging the status quo and boundaries of innovation, healthcare delivery and human potential. We take these values seriously and love working with people who do too.
Getting Closer to the Problem
We believe you cannot solve Africa’s healthcare problems from a distance. We have to get up close and personal to the issues, the patients, the social and political context, and the gate-keepers. Only then can we see what is vital, and become relevant, distinctive, and impactful.
Challenging the Status Quo
If we want to solve complex problems, we must be willing to move away from the herd mentality of how health services are delivered in Africa, and instead embrace innovative and creative solutions that challenge the status quo and create lasting value for patients and the health system.
Always striving for impact
Ideas are easy but impact is hard. Successfully taking ideas from the whiteboard to the market requires grit and passion that comes from having a vested interest in the outcomes. It also demands experience and the acumen to define the plan and fully execute.
