Ilara Health, Nairobi based startup and diagnostics health tech service provider, has recently raised USD$3.75 million in Series A funding led by multinational venture capital firm, TLcom Capital, alongside DOB Equity, Global Ventures, and Chandaria Capital.
According to the CEO and co-founder of Ilara Health, Emilian Popa, the funding is aimed at significant diagnostics service expansion and investment in the technological capabilities of the organization.
She also added, “We view this as only the beginning, widening our disease indication coverage and creating end-to-end value throughout the entire care delivery process.
In the coming months, we will continue working to reach patients who currently struggle to access basic lifesaving tests and on developing data-driven insights for better quality care across the continent.”
With a vision to make diagnostics more accessible and affordable to over 500 million Africans, Ilara health has successfully grown its healthcare partnerships across Nairobi and Kisumu regions in Kenya from 15 to 200 facilities since the organization’s inception in 2018.
