ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Healthcare access and leadership in Africa: over 50% of Kenyans cannot access primary healthcare, and most manage their own symptoms until a small condition becomes an expensive emergency. Dr. Karl Daniel decided to change the system rather than keep treating patients one at a time.
Dr. Karl is the CEO of Tibu Health Kenya, placing minute clinics inside pharmacies to make quality primary care accessible and affordable across Kenya and Uganda. He is a trained doctor with epidemiology training and an MBA.
Dr. Karl and Annastacia Wainaina cover how the system loses people in the cracks, the moment he knew the stethoscope was no longer his most powerful tool, what a superintendent in Turkana taught him (you lead and the money will follow), why humanity is a clinical strategy and belonging in healthcare is not optional, the minute clinic model inside pharmacies, the role of trust in medicine, and what is next for Tibu Health including supermarkets, HPV vaccines and audiology services.
Find Tibu Health at MMD.Africa or through Good Life Pharmacy across Kenya.
Question to sit with: Where does your system lose people in the cracks, and who in your organisation is accountable for closing them?
