In this episode, I spoke to Malaysian entrepreneur Shamala Hinrichsen.  Shamala is the founder of Hanai, a social enterprise that empowers women to take charge of their health.  Her first app, Hanai Jiwa Ibu, targeted at rural Malaysia provides women with access to information about maternal, mental health and domestic violence in addition to a complete doctor’s directory and information on COVID-19.  Inspired by her own grandmother, Shamala who now lives in Germany with her husband and two children, calls herself an Ipoh girl at heart. She worked in three continents - North America, Asia an Europe - and trained as a scientist and in her own words, had a comfortable life and career.  Her pivotal turn came when she spent four months in India. Shamala says, “A large part of the world is actually still rural and women never know what to do in an emergency, never know that it is an emergency and that they need to do something right there.”  She adds, “We want to be in that position to give every woman the ability to make decisions on her own and get help.” In this episode, Shamala talks about: Her time crossing north and south India, opening up her eyes to the issues plaguing rural womenHow she was moved by a death of a woman which pushed her to start with BorneoWhy starting a health tech company wasn’t just about coding the apps and lots more.

Shamala Hinrichsen, CEO of Hanai - Womenpreneur Asia Season 2, Ep 7 with Krista Goon 

Mariatheresa Samson Kaduschi

This episode explores health literacy improvement and women empowerment in Malaysia, Kenya and Tanzania.  You are going to hear from two speakers: Shamala S. Hinrichsen, the CEO of Hanai, a company providing health information to the underserved populations in Malaysia and Kenya. The other speaker is Mariatheresa Samson Kaduschi, the CEO and CO-Founder of Mobile Afya, which provides healthcare information to people in Tanzania and slowly scaling to other countries in Africa as well. We talked about the specifics of these three markets, the technology used to serve as wide of a population as possible, and some of the challenges the female founders face when designing and implementing solutions that are critical for society, but less profitable from the investment point of view.Episode SummaryTo explore other episodes as well go to www.facesofdigitalhealth.com.
