Zak Health Secures $1.5M Seed Round to Revolutionize TeleHealth Across Africa

Zak Health is thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our journey toward revolutionizing Africa’s healthcare landscape. We have successfully raised $1,500,000 in our latest funding round—a testament to the confidence our investors have in our mission to provide affordable, world-class medical care across Africa through innovative technological solutions. At Zak Health, we are acutely aware that Africa remains one of the most underserved continents in terms of healthcare, facing poor medical standards and alarmingly high mortality rates. Our comprehensive approach leverages digital health solutions, state-of-the-art patient record keeping, and advanced analytics, all powered by the expertise of the world’s best medical professionals. This funding injection will accelerate our plans to expand tele-health services throughout Sub-Saharan Africa—a region where, despite up to 89% of patients being open to telemedicine, the option remains out of reach for nearly half of the population. With a growing middle-class, increasing smartphone penetration, and the steady roll-out of 5G technology, the timing for scaling tele-health has never been better. By investing in advanced digital infrastructure, training for local practitioners, and marketing initiatives to raise awareness about telemedicine, Zak Health is poised to break down the barriers that currently impede access to quality healthcare. This initiative is not only aimed at enhancing patient care but also at tapping into the burgeoning market of medical tourism—a sector already valued at over $570 million USD per year. With your support, Zak Health is embarking on a transformative journey to ensure that quality healthcare is accessible, efficient, and just a click away for millions of Africans.
