Africa's Uterine Health Company.
We build what should have always existed: the measurement, data, care pathways, and financing that make uterine health visible in African health systems.
THE GAP WE CLOSE
No code means no data.
No data means no budget.
No budget means no care.
Health systems across Africa reach women during pregnancy. They track births and deaths. Then they lose sight of women entirely, until crisis returns them to emergency wards with conditions that should have been identified years earlier. Youterus extends visibility from pregnancy to uterine health across the life course, working where community health infrastructure already operates and turning lived experience into structured data that systems can act on.
The three pillars of impact:
care, community, and capital
Powered by women’s journeys and intelligent insights.

Community
Meeting women where health systems already operate. Building trust through culturally grounded methods that center women's voices and lived experience.
-
![]()
Care
Clinical pathways connecting identification to treatment. Defined referral routes. Documented costs. Real follow-through. Not just screening, but actual care.
-

Capital
Financing mechanisms ensuring no woman is denied care due to inability to pay. Proof of concept for benefits package design and national health insurance integration.
OUR WORK
Everything begins with what she says about her own body.
Our work is to find women living with uterine conditions the health system has not yet seen, and to make sure they get diagnosed, treated, and followed over time before those conditions turn into something far worse.
Their words are the evidence that the clinical system has not yet learned to read. From there, the work follows her through 4 connected steps that together form one system.
01
Measurement tools
Community-level screening instruments built from how African women describe their symptoms, in their own languages: Administered by community health workers at zero screening cost.
03
Clinical pathways
Community check, clinic visit, blood test, ultrasound, specialist, surgery if needed. We document the cost of each step at every tier, giving ministries and insurers the numbers they need to plan for and fund this care at a national scale.
02
Data systems
An African-owned longitudinal registry for women’s uterine health. It listens to how she describes her body and follows her from the first symptom through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. Every record makes the next diagnosis faster.
04
Financing mechanisms
Blended philanthropic and commercial capital ensures no woman is turned away because she cannot pay. Launched in Freetown in July 2025 under the patronage of the First Lady of Sierra Leone. 85 surgeries underwritten so far.
“For years I was told my pain was normal. Through Youterus Health, I finally received care - and now I know my story is part of changing the system.”

The foundations are in place. Government doors are open. Clinical validation is underway. What comes next depends on who joins us.
-
Scale the care financing mechanism. Prove that African-led health financing works at continental scale. Fund new measurement modules that extend the evidence base into additional uterine conditions. Your investment builds permanent standards.
-
A Founders’ Round of USD 3M is open, closing Q4 2026. The founding equity position in Africa’s uterine health company, at the moment the standards are being set.
-
Anchor our standards inside national health plans, ECOWAS, and African Union frameworks. Engagement is live with the Federal Ministry of Health Nigeria and the Ministry of Health Sierra Leone.
-
Co-author the validation evidence with us. Build on the doctoral research from Harvard T.H. Chan and the engineering partnership with Qhala in Nairobi.
-
