The new funding will accelerate the company’s initiate to provide accessible and affordable healthcare to underserved women across the country.

Denebola Technologies, Ugandan social enterprise, announced yesterday that it has received a large strategic investment from the Women Innovation Fund (WiNFUND), co-founded by the Health Innovation Exchange (HEIX) and Reckitt.

The new investment will help the company advance its objective of providing accessible and affordable healthcare to marginalised women across the country.

The company’s operating model combines technology, micro-finance, and community partnerships to address critical healthcare barriers for low-income women.

The latest investment will also be deployed to expand Denebola's community-based health programs and enhance its telehealth fintech technology platform to serve a wider network of rural villages.

This expansion, according to the company, will build upon its record of using innovation and local partnerships to make a tangible difference in the lives of women.

"This is a powerful endorsement of our work and a testament to the immense need for sustainable healthcare solutions in rural Africa," said Dr. Kihumuro Wilbur, CEO of Denebola Technologies.

"With the backing of WiNFUND, Reckitt, and HEIX, we are no longer just building a model; we are now set to scale it on a mass level, ensuring millions of women gain access to the quality care they deserve."
