Senegalese e-health startup Eyone has successfully secured $1 million in funding to strengthen its leadership in digital health and expand its operations across Africa. This marks a significant milestone for the company, which is focused on improving healthcare quality and accessibility for underserved populations.
At the core of Eyone’s innovation is its medical interoperability platform, which allows healthcare professionals and patients to access real-time medical records. Earlier this year, Eyone partnered with Senegalese authorities to launch the Unique Shared Patient File project, a system ensuring the secure and reliable availability of medical data throughout a patient’s care pathway.
The funding round included $855,000 from the Sonatel Group’s investment fund, VIF, and an additional $145,000 from BICIS. The capital injection will be utilized to further establish Eyone’s dominance in the digital health sector and accelerate its pan-African growth strategy.

This financing marks a key step in our journey, enabling us to continue to innovate and meet the growing needs of our populations.”
The Sonatel Group expressed its strong support for Eyone’s vision, with CEO Sékou Dramé noting, “We are proud to support Eyone in this strategic phase of its development. As a group committed to innovation, we firmly believe in their vision of making digital health a key lever for Africa’s development.”
This funding positions Eyone to not only address the pressing healthcare challenges within Senegal but also scale its transformative solutions to broader regions in Africa, paving the way for a more connected and efficient health ecosystem.
