Philippine mobile healthcare startup Zennya secured $1.2 million or around P72 million in funding led by three companies, paving the way for its nationwide expansion.

The latest funding round was led by Foxmont Capital Partners, DayOne Capital Ventures, and Ignite House of Innovation, with participation from prominent families and investors from the Philippines and Thailand.

Founded in 2016, Zennya provides home wellness and medical services like virtual doctor consultations and medical tests administered by professional nurses.

The platform also offers COVID-19 tests, blood tests, vaccinations, and pharmaceutical deliveries.

Zennya said the capital raised will be used to expand its services to all major Philippine cities. It is currently operating in Metro Manila and will launch in Cebu by June.

Funds will also be used for talent acquisition, technology, and business development.

“We look forward to expanding this year to provide nationwide coverage while preparing for regional expansion, doubling down on our end-to-end home health service delivery technology platform,” said David Foote, founder and chief executive officer of Zennya.

Zennya said that from the fourth quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2021, it saw an 84% growth in mobile number activations, 110% growth in number of patients served, and 121% growth in number of repeat customers. – Rappler.com
