Susu Raises $4.8 Million to Reshape the Continent's Health Landscape
Ivorian health-tech startup, Susu, has successfully secured a substantial investment of $4.8 million in a funding round led by a consortium of distinguished investors, including INCO Ventures, Al Mada Ventures, Janngo Capital, and Open CNP.
This financial boost is earmarked to amplify Susu's healthcare services across the African continent, particularly in Francophone Africa, as the company strives to reshape healthcare accessibility.
Founded in 2019, Susu addresses the pressing issue of healthcare disparity in Africa, where a surge in population coincides with an uptick in chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
The core of their innovative approach lies in a comprehensive digital platform that seamlessly connects beneficiaries, medical providers, financial contributors, and internal teams, ensuring a holistic 360° solution.
Susu's commitment to establishing a robust medical network is fortified by strategic partnerships with leading healthcare providers.
This collaboration guarantees users access to a high-quality healthcare infrastructure at their fingertips.
Beyond conventional healthcare services, Susu stands out by offering both local and international health insurance coverage. The startup goes a step further by providing tailor-made "health bundles" designed to meet specific needs of individuals.
What sets Susu apart is its utilization of innovative financing models.
The platform facilitates third-party contributions from a diverse range of sources, including the African diaspora, relatives, employers, and even charitable organizations.
This approach not only sets Susu apart in the health-tech landscape but also positions it as a trailblazer in addressing healthcare challenges in the African context.
