Their collaborative approach made it easy to integrate with their processes and align with M-KOPA’s mission of providing digital financing to ‘Every Day Earners’.” At Turaco, we are insurance experts with an innovative approach to embedding insurance seamlessly into our partners’ ecosystems.

If admitted to any Ministry of Health registered hospital, customers can claim Ksh1,000 for every night spent in the hospital, helping them manage unexpected medical expenses. 💡 Why this matters: For many, a sudden hospital stay can be financially destabilizing. By integrating insurance directly into our smartphones, we’re providing financial security. This milestone highlights the power of purpose-driven partnerships in driving financial resilience. We’re looking forward to achieving more together. Read more about the announcement: https://lnkd.in/eHCst9tB #MKOPA #FinancialInclusion #HealthInsurance #EveryDayEarners
