Problem
Rural and semi-urban areas in India face significant challenges in accessing high-quality, affordable healthcare products and services due to limited supply chains, low trust in evidence-based healthcare, and low purchasing power among the population. This results in inadequate access to essential medicines, health products, and services, particularly affecting vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and children.
Solution
Tarrina Health addresses these challenges by building a health marketing and supply chain infrastructure tailored for rural India, utilizing a B2B2C model. The company leverages technology and data analytics to optimize rural health supply chains, ensuring efficient distribution of products. Tarrina Health focuses on designing and pricing products specifically for the rural consumer, building trust through local partnerships and awareness campaigns to promote evidence-based healthcare practices. The company's consumer health brand, Nahoa, offers sanitary napkins and plans to expand into sanitation, nutrition, and first aid products, with future expansion into health services like insurance, appointment scheduling, and telemedicine.
