This unprecedented achievement makes Waspito the first African company to win this supreme distinction since the event's inception, thus honoring the ingenuity of local designers facing the most demanding international standards.


Beyond the financial recognition, this victory validates the trajectory of a platform that far exceeds the strict framework of remote medical consultation to establish itself as a true health ecosystem. Structured to directly connect over one million patients with thousands of practitioners and provider networks in Cameroon and Côte d'Ivoire, the company deploys innovative solutions such as the « Health Wallet ». This service enables employers and insurers to manage and finance healthcare expenditures, while integrated artificial intelligence tools optimize orientation and access to primary care.


This distinction fits within the continuity of sustained growth, marked by successive seed funding rounds from international investment funds and major continental accolades, such as its finalist position in the « Africa’s Business Heroes » or its ranking among the most promising African structures by global financial agencies.

Driven by the will to durably structure Africa’s health architecture to overcome geographical and financial barriers, Waspito confirms its transformation from a simple telemedicine application into an indispensable operator of digital health infrastructure at the regional scale.
