Two months ago, we brought together 52 brilliant minds for the Bridging the Gap 2025 Hackathon in Nairobi, with modellers, epidemiologists, software engineers, and policymakers co-developing data-driven solutions to public health challenges in Kenya.

Now, we’re excited to share what we learned. (🧡)
