In a groundbreaking achievement for Pakistan’s startup landscape, Sehat Kahani, a trailblazing female-led health-tech startup, has successfully closed a historic Series A 2.7 million dollars funding round. This landmark positions us as the first all-female-led company in Pakistan to secure Series A funding.

Amaanah Circle, a Singapore-based health tech fund led by Dr. Razi Yousuf, spearheads the funding, joined by key investors including Epic Angels, a female-only investor collective, Cross Fund, USAID Investment Promotion Activity (IPA), Augmentor, Impact Investment Exchange(IIX) and the Elahi group of companies.

Dr. Razi Said “Sehat Kahani is an incredible health-tech story led by Dr. Sara Saeed Khurram and Dr. Iffat Zafar Aga. Amaanah Circle (Singapore) is proud to contribute to the subject matter expertise, and in upscaling regionally and globally to the overall vision of Sehat Kahani in the future of digital health and preventive healthcare.”

The unwavering support from USAID has been pivotal in our growth, fueling innovation and enabling impactful expansion in the dynamic Pakistani digital health landscape. This support fosters a future where accessible healthcare solutions thrive.

Our CEO and co-founder, Dr. Sara Saeed Khurram said, “This funding infusion marks a pivotal moment for Sehat Kahani.
