Afya Lead Limited Company Made in Africa, Designed for Health Impact

Every two minutes, a woman dies in childbirth—70% in Sub-Saharan Africa. The leading cause is postpartum hemorrhage (33%), worsened by a lack of affordable delivery supplies in rural facilities where most births happen. Afya Lead solves this with Mkanda Salama, a patented, non-invasive device that applies pressure on the abdominal aorta to stop excessive bleeding—empowering even low-level health workers to save lives. Paired with our Mama Salama delivery kits for safe, hygienic births, we tackle both bleeding and infection. What makes us unique: our solutions are locally made, affordable ($70), and simple to use—and we’re building Tanzania’s first medical cotton factory to end import dependency and power the entire ecosystem
