Nigerian e-health company Field has launched a route-to-market service that will introduce emerging therapies to tackle the urgency of maternal mortality, newborn and child health, along with nutrition, with the help of US$11 million in capital from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Founded in 2015, Field is a pharmaceutical supply chain provider within Nigeria and Kenya that works collaboratively with African governments by delivering and scaling healthcare programmes, catering for Africa’s small private pharmacies, and providing data-led technology that aids inventory management and access to products.
