Kenya: Alta Semper invests $20m in healthcare platform

Private equity firm Alta Semper has invested $20 million in the primary healthcare platform, MYDAWA, based in Kenya.

Founded in 2016, MYDAWA combines primary care with digital tools to deliver affordable and safe medical services and products to consumers across the region. The platform, which has evolved to become a fully regulated one-stop solution for healthcare, provides a plethora of services including consultations, tests, referrals, and a dedicated help desk.

Alta Semper’s CEO Afsane Jetha said, “MYDAWA’s innovative technology, scalable business model, and comprehensive understanding of the regulatory landscape dovetail perfectly with our own strategy. Their commitment to democratising access to health and wellbeing in Africa mirrors our mission, making them a logical choice for this investment.”
