Problem
Many people in Kenya struggle to pay for healthcare costs upfront, often resorting to borrowing from family, waiting on informal savings groups (chamas), or delaying necessary treatment. This creates financial stress and can prevent timely access to medical care, forcing individuals to compromise their health and independence.
Solution
Jireh Health provides a flexible healthcare payment platform that allows users to spread their medical bills into smaller, interest-free installments, making care more affordable and manageable. Users earn up to 5% cashback on every payment made through the platform, which can be redeemed toward future treatments. The platform connects patients to a growing network of partner clinics, hospitals, pharmacies, and labs across Kenya, enabling them to access care at participating providers. Jireh Health also allows users to cover family and friends by sharing cashback, helping pay their bills, or supporting them with their Lipa Baadaye limit directly from their account. The sign-up process is quick and paperless, with no lengthy approval procedures or hidden fees.
