Our investment in Eden Care reflects our belief in their ability to improve healthcare access and employee wellness on the continent. Eden Care's innovative approach to integrating health insurance with proactive wellness solutions addresses critical pain points in Africa's healthcare and employment ecosystems.
Eden Care is tackling a significant problem: the inefficiencies and inadequacies of traditional health insurance in addressing modern employers' and employees' needs. With 81% of employees dissatisfied with their current health plans and healthcare-related productivity losses mounting, Eden Care has developed a streamlined, digital-first platform that not only simplifies access to health insurance but also incorporates preventive care and wellness programs. This approach reduces costs for employers while improving employee health outcomes and engagement.
We were particularly impressed by Eden Care's dual focus on prevention and personalized care. Their platform goes beyond standard health insurance by offering mental health support, chronic disease management, and incentivized wellness programs. These features empower employees to take control of their health while reducing long-term healthcare costs for businesses. For example, their data-driven approach to chronic care and mental health interventions has demonstrated a clear return on investment for employers—saving money while enhancing employee satisfaction and productivity.
Eden Care's leadership team, led by Moses Mukundi, stood out as a key factor in our decision to invest. Their deep expertise in healthcare, insurance, and their passion for transforming the industry in Africa align with our values. Under their guidance, Eden Care has built strong partnerships and a growing network of healthcare providers across the region, ensuring scalability and long-term impact.
Ultimately, our investment in Eden Care is an investment in Africa's workforce. By improving access to healthcare and promoting healthier lifestyles, Eden Care is not only reducing absenteeism and enhancing productivity but also fostering a healthier, happier workforce that can drive the continent’s economic growth. This mission aligns perfectly with Higa Capital’s goal of creating transformative change across Africa.
