Bill Gates and former bassist aim to change health care


Bridging gaps: Sudharta aims to connect 100 million people to the Halodoc app by 2020 to improve access to health care. — Bloomberg

JONATHAN Sudharta was a brawl-prone, unremarkable student who played in a rock band. Friends of his father, a self-made tycoon, feared he’d one day take over the family medical business and ruin it.

Instead, in 2016, at the age of 34, Sudharta co-founded a startup that attracted the interest of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and today becomes the organisation’s first ever equity investment in an online health-care platform.
