Carolina Zuheill Rosales is a social entrepreneur, focused on health management and public health. As a medical doctor, she founded GUIMEDIC for the promotion of health as a human right in Mexico, a non-profit that brings Mexican doctors and medically trained volunteers to the most remote areas around Mexico.  

She has served the federal government in 2012 as a state delegate on violence and crime prevention. In 2014, she became the national president of that task force and formed alliances on the Mexican borders to address migration issues. She co-founded VIRAL, a youth platform that received recognition by the World Bank as one of the best practices in violence prevention led by young people. 

Actually, she serves on the state youth council of the Jalisco Youth Institute, where she has presented to parliament various initiatives focused on the health sector. Right now, she leads PROMESA, a social business that is using artificial intelligence to detect Covid-19 patients through algorithms that were created to give a percentage risk that a person becomes infected. This project is on the front-line of the defense of indigenous communities in Mexico. In 2020, she received a social commitment award, given by Yunus & Youth, a young platform led by Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel peace prize.
