Zoie Health

Zoie Health is a women-led healthtech platform transforming access to healthcare for women and underserved communities across Africa. Through its four integrated pillars — Zoie Health Technologies, Zoie Supplements, Yola Health, and Zoie Foundation — the startup delivers a holistic care model combining digital consultations, affordable supplements, workplace health support, and menstrual health education. Together, these tools are redefining healthcare access in Africa.

Women and girls across Africa face disproportionate barriers to healthcare, including:

Limited access to clinicians and diagnostics

High cost of private care, with no coverage for most blue-collar workers

Cultural stigma and lack of accurate reproductive health information

Period poverty and low school attendance among adolescent girls

These systemic inequities lead to avoidable complications, poor outcomes, and long-term exclusion from economic participation.
