Folake Owadunni is the CEO & Co-Founder of Emergency Response Africa.
This health tech company provides medical care to victims at the scene of the emergency and facilitates advanced hospital care by building a network of first responders, emergency vehicles, and hospitals to serve people experiencing medical emergencies.
The company, which launched in March 2021, is operating in three major Nigerian cities: Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, with plans to expand services to four more cities over the next few months.
Owodunni completed her master’s degree in global health and development at University College London but credits her undergraduate biology and chemistry professors for laying the important framework of learning she received at the UO.
