Cape Town, South Africa: Aviro Health is excited to announce the successful closing of a pre-series A funding round from ASISA ESD Fund (managed by Edge Growth), Tuksnovation, and TIA. The funding will be used to improve and expand Aviro Pocket Clinic, a digital counselling service made available through health providers in the public and private sector that empowers patients with accessible and engaging counselling and linkage to services via mobile phones or devices in facilities. The funding and associated networks will allow Aviro to expand their impact – first with their clinically validated and NDOH-endorsed support for HIV self-testing, but also into new use cases in HIV and other diseases where health workers have identified that they can use a digital support to help their patients successfully navigate care.
