This 360° approach, coupled with partnerships with top healthcare providers, ensures a high-quality medical network at the fingertips of users.
Susu’s unique offerings extend beyond traditional healthcare.
They provide both local and international health insurance coverage alongside tailor-made “health bundles” catering to specific needs.
Importantly, the startup leverages innovative financing models, enabling third-party contributions from the African diaspora, relatives, employers, and even charities.
