E-health platform MYDAWA has partnered with Sanlam General Insurance to enable policy holders get authentic medicine and wellness products.
The partnership is targeted at curbing insurance fraud experienced by customers and insurance providers. The deal is also expected to shield service providers from incurring losses.
MYDAWA Managing Director, Tony Wood noted that the collaboration “is a huge step” towards achieving better health outcomes for all.
“It creates an opportunity for growth that will facilitate for both higher profitability and stronger customer relations,” he said.
Aside from their medical cover lasting longer, policy holders will also benefit from a MYDAWA medical call centre.
“By leveraging on the platform provided by MYDAWA, we continue to deliver value to our customers by meeting their emerging needs in this era of the Internet of Things (IOT),” said Sanlam Kenya acting chief executive George Kuria.
