Scaling AI-Driven Early Detection for Women’s Health Across Africa
Scaling AI-Driven Early Detection for Women’s Health Across Africa
The problem they solve
African women face some of the world’s highest burdens of reproductive and chronic conditions (including cervical cancer and fibroids), yet preventive care remains limited, unaffordable, or stigmatised. Delays in diagnosis, poor access to quality testing, and cultural barriers often lead to advanced disease and avoidable suffering.
Their solution
Débbo Africa brings preventive, personalised, and stigma-free healthcare directly to women through:
● AI-powered triage tailored to African clinical contexts
● Virtual consultations with a vetted network of 150+ doctors
● Quality diagnostics, including imaging, lab testing, and at-home test kits
● Continuous follow-up and health education to support long-term care
The upcoming MyDébbo mobile app will integrate these services into a seamless digital experience, expanding access beyond employer programmes to reach women in urban, peri-urban, and rural areas.
Traction
● 2,000+ women served across 10 Nigerian states
● 5,000+ diagnostic tests facilitated
● 8 corporate partnerships, including TAJBank, IHS, and Flour Mills of Nigeria
● 99% client satisfaction and high repeat usage
These indicators show repeatable demand across multiple states and a strong base from which to strengthen economics and accelerate scale.
Why they matter now
As Africa confronts rising women’s health burdens alongside severe gaps in preventive care, Débbo Africa provides a scalable, context-specific solution designed for real-world barriers. Their hybrid digital-diagnostic approach enables earlier detection, reduces stigma, and delivers dignified care to women who have historically been left behind. With strong corporate validation and a product roadmap ready for expansion, Débbo Africa is positioned to become a leading femtech provider across the continent.
