How I'm Building a Marketplace to Improve Access to Healthcare in Africa |\u00a0Sam Baddoo, Fleri Founder\u00a0","description":"For today\u2019s episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Sam Baddoo, Founder of Fleri\u2014a health insurance marketplace that helps immigrants protect the people they love, everywhere. Every year, immigrants across the globe send billions of dollars in remittances to their loved ones in lower-income and middle-income countries. What\u2019s unique about Fleri is that it "unbundles" remittances by providing immigrants a direct way to provide quality healthcare to their loved ones back home. During the episode, Sam and I discuss: His upbringing in Ghana and experience studying in Morocco  The African immigrant experience and how he found his footing after emigrating from Ghana How remittance payments transform African economies How Fleri will work to reduce the burden of out of pocket healthcare costs Africa\u2019s healthcare landscape and which countries are getting it right What healthcare in Africa could look like in the next 10 years \u201cWe have the power. We just have to figure out how to use it.\u201d \u2013 Sam Baddoo Resources mentioned: Join Fleri: https:\/\/joinfleri.com Use discount code \u201cDearDiaspora\u201d to join me and Certified Africa in Ghana this December: https:\/\/deardiasporashow.com\/ghana2020\/ Subscribe to Dear Diaspora\u2019s newsletter: http:\/\/eepurl.com\/gZpu79 Dear Diaspora Twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/deardiasporapod Dear Diaspora Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/deardiaspora\/ Dear Diaspora FB Community: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/deardiaspora ","author_name":"Dear Diaspora","author_url":"http:\/\/deardiaspora.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
