French health tech startup Alan has acquired Dakar-based digital health company Tanel, entering the African market and expanding its operations in Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire. The deal, announced on September 2, adds Tanel's 70,000 covered lives and 400 corporate customers to Alan's international network. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Tanel co-founders Ndoye and Diop will lead the combined business, with Alan aiming to cover more than one million people across Africa by 2030. Tanel's platform helps employers manage employee health benefits, while giving workers access to benefit information, pharmacy locations, and healthcare providers. Alan's CEO Jean-Charles Samuelian-Werve stated that local knowledge of healthcare systems was crucial for the acquisition, as the company planned to strengthen its presence in Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire before moving into English-speaking markets in West and East Africa.
