M-tiba national rollout underway

NAIROBI, KENYA: The national roll out of M-TIBA is underway, with 45,000 people now registered and 60 healthcare providers in Nairobi now operational. The mobile health wallet – developed by CarePay, PharmAccess and Safaricom – allows users to send, save and receive funds to access healthcare services using their mobile phones. 

Michiel Slootweg, CEO, CarePay Ltd, says: “M-TIBA is a simple and powerful tool for healthcare savings, payments and bonus schemes. This combined offering has been really popular with Nairobians. And each week we are adding more clinics in more areas, so more Kenyans can take control of their healthcare.”
