A midwife in rural India proudly showed me the tool she used for cutting umbilical cords. It was a sickle, also used for cutting grass. I knew in that moment that I would bring life saving change to women in need - Zubaida Bai

Zubaida Bai, Founder and Chief Executive

"As my knowledge and expertize in my field has grown I see that there is a compelling desire for low-cost, quality health products customized for the developing world. Hospitals, small clinics, and the women themselves see a sustainable solution to their needs. We see this need as encompassing the entire women’s health cycle; reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent, and are determined to meet these needs while empowering underserved women, helping their families and communities thrive."

“Why is it that we take for granted the most important person – the person responsible for bringing us into this world – just because she expects nothing, she does not speak up. Often is a simple, useful thing that could bring happiness to women who go through much hardship. We need to change the status quo, and soon.”

Habib Anwar, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder
