Better Health for All

0

Cab Payments Holdings PLC's core business is providing payment solutions and cross-border payments, which are financial services. The company's products and services are inherently health-neutral. While cash transfers can be used to improve health outcomes, the articles do not quantify the direct health impact of CAB's specific product portfolio. There is no evidence of revenue from products with negative health outcomes, direct safety implications, health-related product pricing, health risks requiring disclosure, R&D focused on health outcomes, direct health externalities, health-related data management, pharmaceutical patents, food products, health education, addiction potential, or clinical trials. Although the company focuses on financial inclusion in hard-to-reach markets, the articles do not quantify the extent to which this translates into equitable health access for vulnerable populations. Internal employee wellness programs, such as training mental health first-aiders
