Temie Giwa-Tubosun, Founder of LifeBank

Temie Giwa-Tubosun's company LifeBank has saved 6,936 lives by improving access to blood transfusions in Nigeria. She describes the sacrifices she's made and why she can't stop.

At 30 weeks into her pregnancy, Temie Giwa-Tubsoun was in America when she was rushed to the hospital for an emergency C-section. Had she been in Nigeria, she realised she would probably have died.

In response to the shortage of blood supplies in Lagos, Temie founded LifeBank, a business enterprise working to improve access to blood transfusions in Nigeria which has today saved over 6,936 lives.
