LifeBank has over the years become one of Nigeria’s leading healthtech startups and it has won so many accolades as well as recognitions.
The startup founded by Giwa-Tubosun in 2015 was rewarded with a cash prize of $250,000 for winning the 2019 Africa Netpreneur Prize Initiative.
More recently, Cartier, a French luxury Jeweller, named Temie Giwa-Tubosun as a laureate for Sub Saharan Africa in its women’s initiative.
The startup is also playing a front role in the fight against COVID-19 in Nigeria. Lifebank collaborated with the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research (NIMR) to start a 2000-capacity drive-through center in the Yaba.
With the experience in running Lifebank in Nigeria, there is no doubt this startup will shine in Kenya.
