Company profile
Waspito Inc.
Waspito Inc. is a Cameroonian healthcare technology platform pioneering telemedicine and accessible healthcare services across Africa. Founded in 2020 by Jean Lobe Lobe, the company operates a health-focused social network connecting patients directly with verified doctors for instant video consultations, eliminating scheduling delays and enabling real-time healthcare access. Beyond telemedicine, Waspito provides integrated healthcare services including mobile laboratory testing (sample collection from patients' homes with digital results delivery) and on-demand medication delivery, positioning itself as a comprehensive healthcare ecosystem. The platform operates primarily in Cameroon and Côte d'Ivoire. As of the seed extension announcement, Waspito had served over 15,000 patients (with prior announcements citing 100,000+ patients across combined services). Additionally, Waspito won the Digital Transformation Challenge for Africa organised by mobility54 and Health54 (CFAO), securing an additional US$200,000 investment. The company employs a hybrid model combining virtual consultations with offline mini-clinics, particularly in Côte d'Ivoire.
