## About

Based in Douala, Cameroon, and founded in 2020 by its CEO, Jean Lobe Lobe, Waspito Inc. operates as an e-healthcare company that connects users with medical doctors via video consultations from their smartphones. In November 2023, Waspito Inc. raised USD 2.5 million in seed funding from Axian Group, Asia Africa Investment & Consulting, and Health54, with participation from Newtown Partners and Saviu Ventures.

Waspito offers a telehealth mobile application that allows users to choose medical doctors from different specialties and have a video call visit to get care, receive a prescription as a pdf, and get health tips from our healthcare-related articles. The firm also provides laboratory services with a lab technician who collects samples from a user’s home and provides digital results.

The company plans to use the funds raised in November 2023 to support its growth in French-speaking markets.
