HealthCap Africa's Impact: Healthcare Logistics

Over 30% of maternal mortality cases stem from hemorrhage-related complications during childbirth. The reason? A lack of essential supplies and the inability to deliver them where they’re needed most—especially to women in critical conditions.

Emergency unit deaths account for 15-16% of total deaths on the continent, largely due to the limited availability of ground ambulances, which delays urgent patient transport and raises mortality rates.

At HealthCap Africa Africa, we're not just observing the problem; we're tackling it head-on. We proudly support two groundbreaking women-led startups— LifeBank and Emergency Response Africa . LifeBank has already delivered over 67,200 pints of blood, serving 3,214 partner hospitals across Kenya, Ethiopia, and Nigeria. Emergency Response Africa has responded to over 5,000 incidents across nine key locations.
