Women Entrepreneurs Urged to Secure Health Cover Amid Rising Medical Costs

Yet, for all their drive and achievement, they share a silent vulnerability: their entire livelihood is one health crisis away from grinding to a halt.

If Tanya gets sick, the algorithm moves on. If Lillian closes her shop for a week, her hard-earned savings become hospital bills. If Janet can’t work, the projects stop—and so does her income.

Their stories reflect a wider reality. In Kenya, insurance penetration hovers at about 2.3% of GDP. This means a significant portion of health expenses are paid out-of-pocket, forcing families to dip into savings or disrupt their plans when unexpected medical costs arise.

For women who are the engines of their own careers, this isn’t just a statistic—it’s a risk that threatens everything they’ve built.

A health crisis shouldn’t mean a financial crisis. This is where health insurance transforms from a simple expense into a strategic investment in your future.

For Tanya, it provides peace of mind to create and connect, knowing her brand and her health are both protected. For Lillian, it means her business capital can continue fueling growth instead of covering medical emergencies.

For Janet, it offers the confidence to pursue ambitious projects without worrying that access to quality care depends on an employer.
