This support from the Gates Foundation represents a powerful validation of our scientific strategy and our mission to transform maternal health. Preeclampsia remains a leading cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Earlier and more accessible diagnostics have the potential to change outcomes for millions of women and babies.
For a small startup, this is an extraordinary step forward. We are generating strong scientific traction, building meaningful partnerships, and demonstrating that ambitious innovation can come from focused and mission driven teams. This grant accelerates our ability to translate breakthrough science into real impact for mothers across the globe.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this work and continues to believe in this vision. Kalia Health is just getting started, and the momentum is growing.
Onward and upward for healthier pregnancies and healthier communities.
