Altibbi.com is one of the Middle East’s largest digital health platforms. Originally founded back in 2010 as online Arabic medical dictionary, Altibbi has grown to become the gateway to digital health information for millions in the Arab world. With more than 2 million app downloads and 7 million website visits, Altibbi connects its users in “real-time” to a network of more than 12,000 doctors in all specialties.

Founder and CEO Jalil Allabadi – who splits his time between Altibbi offices in Jordan and Dubai – was originally selected via our Endeavor Jordan affiliate at ISP 44 in London in June 2012. This fundraising round signals confidence in Altibbi’s ability to enhance medicine in a region where governments spend an average of only eight percent of their budgets on healthcare compared to an average of 17 percent spent by OECD countries.
