What is the social or environmental issue being addressed?

Bangladesh suffers from a severe lack of quality, reliable health care services and an insufficient supply of healthcare organizations to match growing demand. Specifically, there is a major supply gap between the limited free (but variable quality) care available to the poor, and the very expensive (but also of variable quality) health care available to the rich, especially in light of the growing middle class.

Innovation:

Praava Health is launching a network of urban wellness centers in Bangladesh offering primary care and full in-house diagnostic services.
