Transforming women’s health in the Caribbean

Why we exist

Women across the Caribbean face health challenges which are preventable, treatable and too often, ignored.

Maternal mortality, late-stage cancer diagnosis, non-communicable diseases, misdiagnoses of menstrual conditions such as endometriosis and PCOS, and the deep stigma around mental health… These are the results of gaps in education, research, access and advocacy.

Building a shared future

We cannot build the future Caribbean women deserve by working in isolation. It takes courage to break down old walls and intention to build something better in their place. At FemTech Across the Caribbean, we are working with partners who are ready to do both.

Together, we can create a future which Caribbean women have always deserved.

Our approach is built on four core initiatives.

Research & Innovation

Driving region-specific research and expanding access to tailored emerging healthcare technologies.
Education & Awareness

Bringing visibility to women’s health challenges in the Caribbean to understand and act upon issues.
Advocacy

Influencing policy, shaping health systems and ensuring Caribbean women’s voices are represented.
Cultivating Community

Building a community of entrepreneurs, health professionals, nonprofits and policy makers.
