Jubilee’s CoverBora aims to tackle healthcare affordability crisis
In an effort to reshape the medical coverage landscape in Kenya, Jubilee Health Insurance has today launched CoverBora Medical Cover.
The comprehensive and affordable inpatient solution is a significant step towards promoting inclusive healthcare for individuals and families across the country.
Healthcare landscape in Kenya has been marred by challenges related to affordability, with many families forced to rely on out-of-pocket payments for medical services.
According to the Kenya Demographic Health Survey 2022, just one in four Kenyans has some form of health insurance. Shockingly, the report estimates that Kenyans spend a staggering Kes150 million annually in out-of-pocket payments for healthcare, pushing nearly a million people into poverty.
CoverBora Medical Cover, with its commitment to promoting inclusive healthcare, seeks to change this narrative. This innovative medical coverage solution is designed to empower individuals and families from all walks of life to access essential medical services and enjoy peace of mind.
Universal Healthcare Coverage agenda
Jubilee Health Insurance CEO, Njeri Jomo, emphasized the significance of the offering, stating, “The launch of CoverBora strategically aligns with our commitment to advance the universal healthcare coverage agenda. This medical solution is engineered not only to offer coverage but to instill a sense of security among citizens, reaffirming that their well-being takes precedence.”
What sets CoverBora apart from traditional medical covers is its affordability and comprehensive approach. Individuals and families of any size can purchase plans with monthly payments starting as low as Kes500. The coverage tiers range from Kes250,000 to Kes500,000 per insured family per annum.
Unlike other medical covers, CoverBora adopts a holistic approach that covers everything inpatient, from maternity care to end-of-life provisions.
It also provides coverage for pre-existing and chronic conditions during hospitalization, including HIV conditions without bias. Notably, customers with pre-existing conditions will not be subjected to a waiting period, ensuring they receive timely care during critical moments. Additionally, CoverBora includes Covid-19 hospitalization coverage, last expense benefits, and coverage for psychiatric illnesses.

Njeri Jomo added, “Healthcare access is a fundamental human right that goes beyond an individual’s income levels. At Jubilee Health, we are doing all we can to ensure every individual has an opportunity to live a healthy and dignified life. We invite individuals, families, and communities to join us on this revolutionary journey. Together, we can forge a path toward accessible, affordable, and transformative healthcare.”
