“It’s midnight in Toronto. Your phone rings—it’s home. Mum is sick, and the hospital needs a deposit before she can be admitted. You scramble to send money, hoping it arrives in time. For thousands of Kenyans abroad, this moment is all too familiar.”
For many Kenyans in the diaspora, supporting loved ones goes far beyond school fees and rent—it often means responding urgently when illness strikes back home. But with distance, rising medical costs, and unpredictable emergencies, a single hospital bill can throw months of financial planning into disarray.
While Kenya’s diaspora sends over KSh 663 billion annually, less than 15% have structured health cover for their families. That gap forces many into reactive, last-minute remittances instead of preventive protection.
To address this, Jubilee Health Insurance has introduced Diaspora Health Insurance Plans—comprehensive, affordable solutions designed to ensure families in Kenya access timely, quality care without delays or prohibitive costs.
Key Benefits:
- Inpatient & Outpatient Care – From surgeries to routine check-ups.
- Specialist Consultations – Including cardiology, oncology, pediatrics, and more.
- Maternity Services – Smooth, stress-free care during pregnancy and delivery.
- Pharmacy Benefits – Medication covered without out-of-pocket strain.
Jubilee has also tailored plans for every family situation: J-Care (comprehensive cover), J-Care Johari (affordable essentials), J-Junior (children’s cover), and J-Senior (specialized care for parents and seniors over 60).
“We understand the sacrifices the diaspora community makes for their families. These plans provide assurance that loved ones are not only cared for, but cared for well,” said Monica Chege, Head of Marketing, Jubilee Health Insurance.
With flexible payment options via M-Pesa or bank transfer, 24/7 support, and a soon-to-launch digital feature for remote claim tracking, Jubilee’s Diaspora Health Plans shift the burden from emergency remittances to proactive protection—ensuring families get care when they need it most.
Healthcare costs in Kenya continue to rise. With Jubilee, Kenyans abroad can now protect their loved ones from financial shocks while giving them peace of mind year-round.
