Kenya’s e-health startup, MyDawa, is set to expand to regional countries after raising Kes 2.8 billion from international investors.
The start-up raised funds from private equity investors Alta Semper Capital and will also be invested into product offerings.
“MyDawa now has both a solid secure base and a great expansion opportunity based on a great offering which improves health outcomes. Guardian is a great first step on fulfilling our ambition,” MyDawa co-founder Neil O’Leary told TechCrunch.
The firm was unveiled in 2016, and its offerings include walk-in pharmacies, consultations, and laboratory testing.
The company already purchased Guardian Health in Uganda to increase its presence in the East African region.
The newly appointed Priscilla Muhiu will serve as its Country Director and oversee the expansion and investment work.
She had served at Glovo Kenya as the General Manager.
