About this episode

Ali Khawaja interviews Sophie Smith about women's preventative health and the challenges faced in healthcare access.

In this episode, Ali sits down with Sophie Smith, founder and CEO of NABTA Health, to explore one of the most overlooked areas in healthcare: women’s preventative health. Sophie shares the story behind NABTA Health, the first women’s health tech company in the West Asia and Africa region, and explains why so many women are diagnosed late, dismissed by healthcare systems, or left without access to the care they need. The conversation moves through mental health, stigma, late-stage diagnosis, hormonal health, workplace wellbeing, preventative care, funding challenges, and the urgent need to normalize conversations around women’s bodies and health. This episode is a powerful reminder that prevention, access, and open dialogue can save lives. It is also a call for families, employers, founders, investors, and communities to take women’s health seriously before symptoms become crises.
