Waspito is a Cameroonian healthtech platform that functions like a social network for healthcare, letting users instantly connect with verified doctors over video. The service also arranges home sample collection by partner laboratory technicians and delivers medication, and integrates with hospitals for continued care. Patients can pay through multiple options, including insurance, and join anonymous disease support groups on the platform. Founded by Jean Lobe Lobe at the start of 2020, Waspito emphasizes instant consultations rather than scheduled bookings to improve access. The startup reports about 650,000 users, 950 onboarded doctors and 60,000 consultations to date. It is piloting a hybrid model of mini-clinics in Ivory Coast (within La Poste branches) to reach offline patients and plans rollouts in Cameroon and Senegal, while eyeing Senegal and Gabon for further expansion; it recently secured a $2.5M seed extension to support scaling.
