In Pakistan, 36% of women never see a doctor in their entire lifetime. The doctors exist — Pakistan trains more female doctors than male. But 80% never practice after marriage. They're called "doctor brides." The supply is there. The connection isn't.In this episode, we speak with Dr. Sara and Dr. Iffat — both physicians, both former "doctor brides" — who built Sehat Kahani (meaning "story of health"), a digital health platform connecting female doctors to patients across Pakistan in 60 seconds. B2B model: corporates and insurers pay a flat fee, employees get instant access via app. And for areas where the nearest doctor is 100km away, 82 telemedicine clinics on the ground. Nearly 5 million consultations, 1,200 corporate partners, a Harvard Business School case study, and the first all-female team in Pakistan to close a Series A. Now expanding to the UAE — contracts signed, doctors licensed, GCC market growing 21% a year.Their vision: quality primary healthcare for everyone, everywhere — powered by women doctors who refused to give up their careers.Followed by Investor Talk with Karin Welbrock, executive leadership coach and one of Epic Angels' most active angel investors.Hosted by Maaike Doyer & Hester Spiegel, founders of Epic Angels.
