The coronavirus global health pandemic -- and the new emphasis on social distancing to slow down the spread of COVID-19 -- has put healthcare and tech services used to enable healthcare remotely under the spotlight. Today a startup that's building microinsurance and healthcare services specifically targeting emerging markets is announcing a round of funding to meet a surge in demand for its services. BIMA, a startup that provides life and health insurance policies, along with telemedicine to support the latter, all via a mobile-first platform targeting consumers in emerging markets whose primary entry point to online services is via phones, not computers, is today announcing that it has raised $30 million in funding, a growth round that the Stockholm/London-based startup plans to use to double down on its health services in the wake increased demand around COVID-19.
