MDaaS, a Nigerian diagnostic healthtech startup, has just made its way into Cameroon, taking its healthcare solutions into Francophone Africa.
This move is part of MDaaS’s push to expand beyond Nigeria and tap into a new market with a growing demand for medical services. With Cameroon’s bilingual advantage and a more stable currency, the startup hopes to diversify and boost revenue.
MDaaS was founded in 2017 by Oluwasoga Oni and Opeyemi Ologun, and it has already made a significant impact in Nigeria, serving over 16,000 patients through its 16 diagnostic clinics and collaborating with partners and affiliates across 26 states. With many Nigerian patients opting to book tests upfront, it’s clear the startup has built strong trust.
After touring several diagnostic centres in Cameroon, MDaaS identified a gap in fast, efficient diagnostic services. Many centres there still have wait times for lab tests, a challenge MDaaS has already addressed in Nigeria, where patients can get multiple tests and same-day results in a single visit. MDaaS aims to bring this streamlined service to Cameroonian patients as well.
In addition to diagnostics, MDaaS runs Sinetel, a B2B platform focused on preventive healthcare. Earlier this year, MDaaS raised $3 million in pre-series A funding to expand its reach within Nigeria — now, it’s taking those next steps into Cameroon.
