The hardest part of health innovation starts after it works.

Shaped by the decision in front of you.

We start with what you are trying to achieve, the decisions you need to make, and what is getting in the way. That might mean understanding why a diagnostic is struggling in routine use, designing a service around what people value, or helping a health-system leader turn a complex mandate into a feasible plan.

Health Innovation Advisors (HIA) is a founder-led global health advisory with deep expertise in diagnostics and health technologies, built on more than 15 years of experience across innovation, research, funding, and implementation. Founder Melissa Mugambi, MD, PhD has worked from several sides of the table, with extensive experience across East and Southern Africa.

That range matters because implementation problems rarely sit in one place. They can involve the technology, the evidence, the workflow, the health system, or the people responsible for making change happen. HIA helps clients see across those perspectives, make sense of what matters, and determine what to do next.

The best implementation advice is built with the people who have to make it work.
