Dear listeners,

In this episode of the Primary Medicine Podcast, Dr. Dimitre speaks with Sharmeen Aqueel, founder and CEO of Lyvvora, a Lending-as-a-Service platform built specifically for healthcare clinics and pharmacies. With a background in enterprise tech, Sharmeen shares how she identified a hidden but urgent problem in primary care: outdated, opaque financing that holds back even thriving clinics.

Together, they explore how Lyvvora is helping practices across Canada access fast, fair, and flexible capital—without the paperwork headache. From real-world success stories to insights on the post-COVID financial landscape, this conversation sheds light on how better financial tools can empower clinicians to focus on what really matters: patient care.
