Our conversation delves into financing healthcare in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).

Dr. Brown highlights the delicate balance required when identifying a market gap. She wisely reminds founders that it's not just about finding a gap in the market but ensuring there is a market in that gap.
