The Cure: Revolutionizing the Business of Healthcare in Africa
The Cure is a deep-dive podcast exploring what it takes to revolutionize the business of healthcare in Africa. Hosted by Temitope Coker, each episode features candid conversations with the people shaping the continent’s health systems, including visionary founders, investors, researchers, policymakers, and reformers.
We go beyond surface-level insights to unpack the real-world challenges, innovations, and investment strategies transforming care delivery across Africa. At the same time, we aim to infuse hope into the narrative by spotlighting the momentum and progress already unfolding across the continent.
From financing and infrastructure to research, technology, and policy, The Cure is the place for serious thinkers and doers who care about the future of African health.
The show is powered by TC Health, a platform providing healthcare and pharmaceutical insights in Sub-Saharan Africa.
