In pursuit of challenging the Zimbabwean pharmacy system, Dudzai set out to make the lives of patients a lot easier. Her crowdsourcing service, the Medical Information Service (MIS), provides a real-time inventory and prices of medication from hundreds of pharmacies across the country so patients in need have quick access to this information, especially in time of dire need. Listen to her story about getting the service up and running, and what inspired it, as well as how creative she gets with her business ventures (hint, it may involve goats!).
