Revolutionizing the Business of Healthcare in Africa - One Conversation at a Time
What is The Cure?
The Cure is a deep-dive podcast exploring what it takes to revolutionize the business of healthcare in Africa. Hosted by Temitope Coker, each episode features candid conversations with the people shaping the continent’s health systems, including visionary founders, investors, researchers, policymakers, and reformers.
We go beyond surface-level insights to unpack the real-world challenges, innovations, and investment strategies transforming care delivery across Africa. At the same time, we aim to infuse hope into the narrative by spotlighting the momentum and progress already unfolding across the continent.
From financing and infrastructure to research, technology, and policy, The Cure is the place for serious thinkers and doers who care about the future of African health.

Building Medicines for Us: The New Wave of African Pharma Innovation
Imagine walking into a pharmacy and seeing African made medicines, built for our climate, our bodies, our lives.
That future is closer than you think.

Season 1, Pilot:
Is There a Cure? Rethinking African Healthcare
Are you tired of hearing only what’s wrong with healthcare in Africa? So are we.
The Cure Podcast begins with a different kind of conversation, one rooted in truth, grounded in research, and guided by hope.
In this pilot episode, the host Temitope Coker, reflects on why this show exists: to shift the focus from despair to possibility, from statistics to stories, and from what’s missing to what’s being built.
We know the challenges, they’re real. But there’s also innovation, courage, and transformation happening every day across the continent. That’s the story we’re here to tell.
Africa’s healthcare system is at a turning point. What happens next depends on how boldly we choose to imagine the future.
Season 1, Launch:
We’re Flipping the Script on Africa’s Health Story
For too long, Africa’s healthcare story has been told through what’s broken, not what’s being built.
The Cure Podcast changes that.
Over the past few months, we’ve had conversations with founders, scientists, investors, and dreamers who refuse to give up on Africa’s future. Their resilience and innovation have reshaped how we think about hope, not as wishful thinking, but as deliberate action.
Every episode is a story of people choosing optimism in the face of challenges, building systems that work, and reimagining what healthcare can look like on the continent.
This season, we’re shifting the narrative, from despair to determination, from limitation to possibility.
Because for those building healthcare in Africa, hope isn’t just an emotion. It’s a strategy.
The Cure Podcast Infusing hope into the story of Africa, by Africans, for Africans.
