Life-saving innovation – YES winner Kanga Care from Uganda #137

Start-up Kanga Care wants to reduce the mortality rate of
premature babies in African countries. Due to
the distance to the nearest health center, emergency care for
mothers and newborns often cannot be provided quickly in many
African countries. Therefore, mortality rates of premature babies
are high. With their potentially Life-saving innovation, Kanga
Care, a start-up founded by students from Mbarara University,
Uganda, won the first place prize at Constructor University's
Young Entrepreneur Summit (YES).


In this podcast episode, I welcome three team members of
Kanga Care: Ayikoru Comfort, the team leader,
and Mutaka Keith, a core team member. Both will graduate this May
with a bachelor's degree in medicine. And Kibande Steven, he is
the CTO. He studies electrical and electronics engineering – and
he was in Bremen at the Constructor University and did the final
pitch.


In this inspiring interview they explain how they
plan to reduce the mortality rate of premature
babies in African countries. And how they
developed a baby carrier that is equipped with vitality
measurement technology and allows parents to monitor the child's
condition via an app. And how you can support them.
