52% of people on our planet lack access to essential health services (World Bank, World Health Organization, 2018).

reah52 addresses the critical issue of healthcare inequity in rural and underserved communities, where access to essential health services and products is severely limited. Many residents in these areas face significant barriers, including:

1. Lack of Infrastructure: Limited availability of clinics, hospitals, and healthcare professionals in remote regions.
2. High Costs: Out-of-pocket expenses for medicines, diagnostics, and treatments push millions into poverty annually.
3. Digital and Logistical Gaps: Inadequate connectivity and supply chains hinder the delivery of healthcare services and products.
4. Health System Limitations: Overburdened and centralized healthcare systems often fail to address the needs of remote populations.
5. Gender Inequality: Women, who often shoulder the responsibility for family health, face systemic barriers to accessing care and decision-making opportunities.

By leveraging digital health technology, public-private partnerships, and a community-driven approach, reach52 provides scalable, sustainable solutions to bridge these gaps. The initiative equips Community Health Workers with tools and training to deliver health services, connects communities with affordable health products through its Access Portfolio, and fosters data-driven decision-making to improve health outcomes and resource allocation.

reach52 delivers essential healthcare services to underserved rural and remote communities through its digital health platforms and innovative business model. With a strong focus on eHealth and last-mile delivery, reach52 aims to bridge gaps in healthcare access and achieve universal health coverage.
