BIMA, a Ghanaian e-health startup, has raised an undisclosed amount of funding. The investment is from AAIC Investment. It aims to accelerate BIMA’s expansion in emerging markets. BIMA is the first licensed telemedicine provider in Ghana.
It offers affordable health insurance products. It also provides digital health services to underserved and low-income populations. With a presence in Tanzania, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Cambodia, BIMA currently serves over six million users globally.
This new funding from AAIC, a health-focused venture capital firm, will support BIMA’s growth in existing markets. It will also facilitate further expansion across Africa. AAIC’s skill and network will help the company scale its healthcare ecosystem and enhance insurance accessibility for emerging markets.
“We are excited to have AAIC as a partner on our journey,” said Gustaf Agartson, founder and CEO of BIMA. “Their health tech experience will strengthen our mission to make insurance affordable for underserved populations.”
Hiroki Ishida, director of AAIC, highlighted BIMA’s role in tackling healthcare challenges in Africa. He emphasized the issue of limited access to health insurance. “Governments are pushing for universal health coverage, but this requires significant time and resources. BIMA, with its telemedicine services and mobile money partnerships, offers a scalable solution to improve healthcare in Africa.”
The investment is expected to significantly accelerate BIMA’s mission. It aims to improve healthcare access and affordability across Africa. This is achieved by leveraging AAIC’s industry expertise.
