Melissa Menke,
Founder and CEO, Access Afya is a digital health activist in
Nairobi Kenya where she has set up micro-clinics in the informal
settlements to bring health services to an under-served
community. They are using digital diagnostic tools and mobile
devices to send text and voice alerts to patients where there is
near universal access to a phone or smart device.
Melissa is also bringing 21st
Century medicine to neighborhoods, schools, and factories using
mobile units. Part of the secret to her success is the
engagement of those in the
community to participate in the program as volunteers and
workers.
