Kinshasa, RDC14 october 2024 – KimboCare is pleased to announce its strategic expansion into the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) through partnerships with more than thirty renowned healthcare providers. This significant milestone underscores KimboCare’s commitment to providing quality, affordable healthcare to families in the DRC, enabling the diaspora to support their loved ones with ease and transparency.

Among the new partners are well-known healthcare facilities and pharmacies such as PHARMACIE VENUS, IRIS OPTIC, HÔPITAL DE SMET DE KINSUKA, CABINET BANDAR, MEDICAL CITY ADH FONDATION, Clinique PROMEDIS, Inovie Africa RDC, LAEL VISION, the Centre de Diagnostic Thérapeutique et d’Hémodialyse (CDTH), and the Centre Hospitalier Initiative Plus (CHIP), to name a few. These partnerships strengthen KimboCare’s mission to provide accessible and top-tier healthcare services to Congolese families, regardless of where their supporters reside.

The creation of this strong medical network in the DRC has been made possible thanks to the invaluable support of Facility Services and its CEO, Magloire Bell, whose expertise was instrumental in identifying and connecting KimboCare with these leading medical providers.

Ms. Martine Zaina, Head of Partnerships at the Centre Hospitalier Initiative Plus (CHIP), also expressed her enthusiasm for this collaboration: “We are delighted to be part of the KimboCare network. This partnership is a significant step forward in our mission to provide accessible, high-quality healthcare to the Congolese people. By working together, we can ensure that families in the DRC receive the care they need, supported by their loved ones abroad.”

KimboCare’s innovative platform allows Congolese expatriates worldwide to purchase healthcare vouchers for their families in the DRC. This system offers a flexible alternative to traditional health insurance, eliminating the need for monthly premiums and ensuring that funds are used exclusively for healthcare services. Additionally, the platform provides real-time tracking of the patient’s care journey, offering an unprecedented level of transparency and peace of mind.

“With the integration of these renowned medical partners in the DRC, we are empowering the Congolese diaspora to support their families with quality care. Our mission is to bridge the gap between distance and access to healthcare services, ensuring that families in the DRC receive prompt and professional care,” said Franck Tiambo, COO of KimboCare.

With a significant presence in 12 countries, including 7 in Africa, and over 700 partner medical facilities, KimboCare continues to implement its vision of making quality healthcare accessible to millions of low-income individuals.
