Britam will launch new product called Linda jamii that aim to provide medical cover to the family . It Will partner with safaricom as members will subscribe via phone at a cost of sh 12000 per family per year. It intended to cover most of low income earners.

And which hospitals will cater the cover ?

any link for more details, hospitals, entry, exit

Thanks!

To me, this is by far much better than the current one i have that restrict me to one hospital. Its well spread to all counties all over Kenya.

What are the fine prints saying, ANYONE?

The exclusion of the so called 'major hospitals' is for a reason. These hospitals would wipe out the entire KShs 200K inpatient limit in a day or two and kick you out of their posh beds.

This is targeted at those who would not mind a less posh place but want care that is better than you may find at Pumwani Maternity Hospital or Mbagathi for instance

If you are a member of NHIF, you get better comprehensive in-patient treatment at any of those listed hospitals on that list (and many more), with no limits, at a far cheaper premium (Kes 1920 per year voluntary or Kes 3840 salaried).

What's the point of having LindaJamii and being admitted at Kabarnet District Hospital in the general wards?

@jguru, thanks for the insight!

It does not target those who seek treatment at those hospitals you have mentioned.

This is aimed at the masses that seek healthcare kwa mganga, those that self medicate, those that go to government hospitals but have to be queued for several days later coz of the masses.

They will be treated in mission hospitals and other smaller establishments.

For me its a plus.It translates to 1000 per month or 35 bob a day.Its affordable
