“Dreamers and Pushers”: Emily Sheldon and Sunita Maheshwari offer valuable insights for global health innovators
Transforming businesses to address global health challenges has been hampered by a shortage of professionals possessing the ability to translate innovation into action, especially in lower- and middle-income countries. In response, the Sustainable Health Initiative (SHI) at the Yale Institute for Global Health has created the Mentors in Residence program to empower entrepreneurs with the knowledge and skills most needed in today’s global health start-up landscape. Emily Sheldon, Co-Founder and CEO at the African Health Innovation Centre (AHIC), and Sunita Maheshwari, Co-Founder and Chief Dreamer at The Telerad Group, joined the program as inaugural mentors.
