KES 100K Health Cover: Kenya vs Rwanda

KES 100,000 can buy very different levels of health insurance depending on whether you are in Kenya or Rwanda. So what exactly are you paying for when you buy medical cover? Kevin Rudahinduka CEO EdenCare Medical Rwanda explains that a package costing around RWF 1 million a year in Rwanda translates to roughly KES 100,000. Yet, according to his comparison, getting similarly comprehensive benefits for that amount in Kenya can be difficult, partly because healthcare costs differ between the two markets. The price of your cover only tells part of the story. The benefits, limits and cost of care determine what that premium actually gets you.
