TEAMFund (Transforming Equity and Access in Medtech), a US-based organisation that says it combines a non-profit with an impact fund limited partnership, with a shared aim to expand access to affordable, appropriate and sustainable medical technologies that address unmet health needs in the world's most resource constrained populations, announced on Friday that Baobab Circle, a digital health company, has received the 2021 Global Health Innovator Award during a presentation at The MedTech Conference.
The USD50,000 award honours an early-stage MedTech company that has a novel, appropriate and sustainable medical device for the world's low and resource-constrained populations.
Yousuf Mazhar, managing partner of TEAMFund, said, 'We're delighted to honour Baobab with this year's Global Health Innovator Award. We're particularly impressed with their low cost AFYA-PAP app for managing diabetes and hypertension and their quick pivot to assist in managing COVID that demonstrates their extended platform capability.'
