Sabine Bolonhini
SAS Group
In Brazil, healthcare access remains deeply unequal, especially for women, vulnerable communities, workers in remote territories, and families living far from major urban centres.
Expanding healthcare access with an ecosystem of solutions
SAS Group expands healthcare access for underserved and hard-to-reach populations through a hybrid model that combines social impact with sustainable business design. Founded by Sabine Bolonhini, the organisation was built in response to the reality that many communities, farms, and remote workforces remain beyond the reach of traditional healthcare systems.
Her journey as a woman founder in health innovation has required building trust across philanthropy, public systems, academia, and the private sector, shaping a model designed to serve people where conventional healthcare delivery often fails.
Scalable healthcare pathways for remote communities
SAS Group uses a phygital approach that brings together digital health tools, proprietary technology, and on-the-ground operational capacity. Through its nonprofit arm, it serves people who cannot afford care, while its business units provide healthcare access solutions for companies with employees in remote agribusiness, energy, and other decentralised operations.
SAS Group makes healthcare delivery possible in low-density and logistically complex environments by designing validated care journeys in areas such as chronic care, women’s health, and maternal and child health. Its innovation lies in turning fragmented access into scalable, operational healthcare pathways for the people and places most often left out.
