Build the Rails: Welcome to Season 2 of The Cure

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2521858/fan_mail/new] Season 1 proved African healthcare innovation is real and led by Africans. Season 2 asks why it doesn't scale. Host Temitope Coker introduces Build the Rails. Great ideas keep dying at pilot, and startups still can't plug into the public health system. What's missing isn't talent or ambition. It's the rails: regulation, financing, trusted health data, public-private collaboration, and the infrastructure that turns ideas into reliable care. This season we sit with the founders, CEOs, and investors laying those rails down, and we unpack why it matters now.
