Global leading insurers Orange Middle East and Africa and AXA Assurance Maroc have jointly acquired Moroccan e-health startup DabaDoc, and plan to help the platform scale across Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East.

DabaDoc was founded in 2014 by Zineb Drissi-Kaitouni and Driss Drissi-Kaitouni, DabaDoc offers solutions for healthcare professionals to digitise access to healthcare in Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria.
