In a world where millions still struggle to access basic healthcare, visionary entrepreneur Dr. Funmi Adewara is leading the charge to change this reality. As the founder and CEO of MobiHealth, a pioneering telemedicine platform, Dr. Adewara is providing innovative solutions to bring healthcare to underserved communities across Africa. Her groundbreaking $1/Month initiative is making it possible for Africans in the diaspora—and anyone who believes in healthcare equality—to sponsor medical services for those in need.

Recently, Dr. Adewara sat down with the FindBlackExperts team for an exclusive interview, where she shared the incredible story of her journey, the challenges she’s faced, and the immense impact MobiHealth has had so far. It’s an inspiring look into the life of a leader who is redefining what healthcare access can look like for millions of people across Africa.

The Journey to MobiHealth

Born into a family of healthcare professionals, Dr. Adewara witnessed the disparities in healthcare access from a young age. Inspired by her mother’s tireless work as a nurse and motivated by the preventable deaths she observed, Dr. Adewara dreamed of a world where timely healthcare would be accessible to everyone, especially those in rural areas. Years later, after nearly a decade working in the UK’s National Health Service and studying Bioscience Enterprise at Cambridge, she combined her knowledge and experiences to launch MobiHealth.

The Power of $1

The simplicity of MobiHealth’s $1/Month initiative is what makes it so powerful. For just $1, Africans in the diaspora and supporters from around the world can sponsor healthcare services for individuals in rural Africa. This small contribution covers everything from doctor consultations to diagnostic tests and treatments. In places where healthcare infrastructure is scarce, MobiHealth’s solar-powered telehealth clinics are the gateway to life-saving services.

Imagine being able to give an elderly person access to medication, or helping a pregnant mother receive essential care. Now multiply that by thousands. Every dollar counts, and when scaled, the collective impact can fund the establishment of more clinics, provide more diagnostic tools, and deliver care to even more communities.

Scaling Impact with Technology

Technology is at the heart of MobiHealth’s operations. By harnessing mobile technology, MobiHealth is able to provide healthcare services even in areas without smartphones or computers. Their telehealth clinics are equipped with solar power, internet, and point-of-care diagnostic tools, allowing healthcare professionals to deliver high-quality care to remote communities.

The Road Ahead

With over 100,000 lives already impacted, MobiHealth is just getting started. The goal is to reach millions more people across Africa by expanding services into countries like Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, and Côte d’Ivoire. Over the next five years, Dr. Adewara envisions establishing hundreds of telemedicine clinics that will forever change the landscape of healthcare on the continent.

How You Can Get Involved

Supporting MobiHealth’s mission is easy. By visiting the MobiHealth website, you can sign up to sponsor someone’s healthcare for just $1 a month. You can also spread the word within your community or on social media to help this life-changing initiative reach its goal of impacting millions of lives.

Dr. Adewara’s story is one of resilience, innovation, and a deep commitment to improving healthcare access for all. At FindBlackExperts, we are honored to spotlight her work through our exclusive interview and encourage everyone to support the $1/Month initiative—because together, we can make healthcare accessible to every corner of Africa
