How Zoie Health Technologies Aims To Create A Community For Women’s Health
How Zoie Health Technologies Aims To Create A Community For Women’s Health. Zoie was created by women, for women. Co-Founder Thato Schermer was shocked at how expensive it was to go to the gynaecologist, get a contraception prescription, and fill it at a pharmacy. It’s this lack of access that motivated her to create a hub that delivers much-needed services.
For Co-Founder Dr Nonie Sitole, it was motherhood that motivated her. After the birth of her second child, she experienced postpartum depression, and realised how lonely it can be without proper support. What she really wanted was a sense of community to share her experiences with, and a real professional to point her in the right direction. Together, they created Zoie to give women access from wherever they’re located.
The company believes women deserve access to affordable, definitive and helpful healthcare at every phase of their lives. This is why it is building Africa’s first digital women’s health clinic for 500 million women, offering a holistic portal that includes much needed support for family planning, fertility, maternity and beyond. The founders understand the frustrations and limitations of healthcare. Hence their aim is to make it better because they have been there too.
The company also established a podcast called Womankind, this is a podcast by Zoie HealthListen to Womankind By Zoie Health, hosted by Dr Nonie Sitole, Co-Founder of Zoie Health. Through the podcast, they’re exploring all the topics affecting a woman’s health and wellness. The company loves snteracting with its clients, so it encourages them to join the conversation in its community chat to let it know what their views are or to share their own stories about the topics covered.
