Mi obsesión por la atención sanitaria en Bangladesh comenzó con la apendicitis de mi madre.

Although the author&#8217;s grandfather founded the oldest pharmaceutical company in Bangladesh, she never expected to follow in his footsteps. Raised in Roanoke, Virginia, she studied international development and law before working first as a corporate lawyer and then in the Obama administration. But when her mother fell seriously ill during a family wedding in Bangladesh&#8212;and Sinha discovered how difficult it was to get access to quality health care in that country even for well-off, well-connected families&#8212;she found a new mission. She developed a business plan for a state-of-the-art, full-service primary-care facility in Dhaka, Bangladesh&#8217;s capital city, and moved there&#8212;where she&#8217;d never lived before&#8212;to launch it. She focused on hiring a great team and building a culture around the distinctive service they would offer. Five years later, Praava Health has served 600,000 patients, is nearly cash-flow positive, and continues to grow.

Aunque el abuelo de la autora fundó la empresa farmacéutica más antigua de Bangladesh, ella nunca esperó seguir sus pasos. Criada en Roanoke, Virginia, estudió desarrollo internacional y derecho antes de trabajar primero como abogada corporativa y después en la administración Obama. Pero cuando su madre cayó gravemente enferma durante una boda familiar en Bangladesh -y Sinha descubrió lo difícil que era acceder a una atención sanitaria de calidad en ese país incluso para las familias acomodadas y con buenos contactos- encontró una nueva misión. Desarrolló un plan de negocio para un centro de atención primaria de vanguardia y con todos los servicios en Dhaka, la capital de Bangladesh, y se trasladó allí -donde nunca antes había vivido- para ponerlo en marcha. Se centró en contratar a un gran equipo y en crear una cultura en torno al servicio distintivo que ofrecerían. Cinco años después, Praava Health ha atendido a 600.000 pacientes, tiene un flujo de caja casi positivo y sigue creciendo.
