Ibukun Tunde-Oni

Ibukun, CEO of Eight Medical, is a seasoned medical doctor with over 13 years of experience, during which he witnessed numerous emergencies and preventable deaths, particularly during his tenure at a military hospital. Motivated by these and personal experiences, Ibukun founded Private MD, a company specialising in first aid and urgent care services. Under his leadership, Private MD experienced significant growth, serving numerous users before being acquired by Helium Health, a prominent health tech company in Africa.

Transitioning to Helium Health as a growth manager, Ibukun further demonstrated his ability to scale operations and attract users, contributing to the company’s expansion. However, driven by the realisation of the profound need for improved emergency services in Africa, particularly highlighted during the pandemic, Ibukun embarked on his latest venture: Eight Medical.

Prior to his endeavours in healthcare, Ibukun also founded Awabike, a mobility startup, showcasing his entrepreneurial spirit and versatility across different sectors. With his diverse background, extensive medical expertise, and entrepreneurial acumen, Ibukun is well-equipped to lead Eight Medical in its mission to address the critical issue of fragmented access to emergency medical services in Africa.
