In a significant win for Pakistan’s startup scene, Sehat Kahani, a pioneering female-led health-tech startup, just raised $2.7 million in a Series A funding round. This makes us the first all-female-led company in Pakistan to achieve Series A funding.
Amaanah Circle, a Singapore-based health tech fund, led the funding round. The round also saw participation from key investors including Epic Angels, Cross Fund, USAID Investment Promotion Activity (IPA), Augmentor, Impact Investment Exchange(IIX), and the Elahi group of companies. Furthermore, USAID’s strong support has fueled Sehat Kahani’s growth, driving innovation and expanding access to healthcare in Pakistan’s digital health scene.
Founded by Dr. Sara Saeed Khurram and Dr. Iffat Zafar Aga, Sehat Kahani uses innovative tech for quick doctor-patient connections in under 60 seconds. They offer at-home or on-site lab services and deliver medicine online. Moreover, their reach extends to diverse patients across Pakistan, including businesses, consumers, and rural communities.

“This funding infusion marks a pivotal moment for Sehat Kahani. It will enable us to develop advanced features, including decision support systems, precision medicine tools, and predictive AI models to help our patients live fully by knowing their disease better. Grateful to our investors and programs such as Weraise for supporting our mission and championing female founders, setting a powerful example”
