Empowering Health Leadership: Ahegel Technologies welcomes AL for Health Mastercard Foundation Scholars to join Homnics telemedicine startup.
November 2023.
After presentation during the AL for Health's "Healthbiz in 30mins," Ahegel
Technologies is glad
to announce the arrival three (3) AL for Health interns to the Homnics telemedicine startup. The interns are also
part of the Mastercard Foundation
Scholars Program. The collaboration with AL for Health represents a shared effort to
catalyze positive
change.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a threshold density of
4.45 health workers per 1,000 people is needed to deliver essential health
services and achieve universal health coverage. In Africa, the current ratio
is 1.55 health workers (physicians, nurses, and midwives) per 1,000 people,
below the WHO threshold density. Homnics is driven by a dedication to revolutionize
healthcare accessibility through
cutting-edge technology.
This mission aligns with AL for Health's goal of cultivating health leadership.
In part,
AL for
Health has provided
exposure and support to the telemedicine startup. Furthermore, the collaboration involves the
integration of young,
talented leaders from the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program into our startup—a collective
effort poised to
address Africa's most pressing healthcare challenges. As we embark on this collaborative journey, we
anticipate the
positive transformations that will unfold, contributing to a healthier and more accessible future
for all.
Through
this vision-oriented collaboration with AL for Health, we are excited to welcome exceptional interns
into our team.
This initiative is part of our shared commitment to fostering talent and contributing to the
development of future
leaders in the health sector.
