Tibu Health Secures Proparco Funding To Expand Affordable Healthcare In Kenya

Kenyan healthtech startup Tibu Health has secured a financing facility from French development finance institution Proparco through the Bridge Fund by Digital Africa.

Founded in 2020 by Jason Carmichael, Tibu Health provides affordable and accessible primary healthcare services to middle-income and underserved communities.

The company operates a hub-and-spoke healthcare model centred on its Minute Clinics, small embedded clinics located within pharmacies and supermarkets, supported by a central medical hub offering diagnostics, specialist care, laboratory services, and telemedicine.

The new funding will help Tibu Health accelerate the rollout of its healthcare network across urban and peri-urban areas in Kenya. The investment reflects growing investor interest in scalable healthtech solutions that improve access to quality healthcare in emerging markets.
