The emphasis is on convenience and efficiency, minimizing the need for lengthy hospital visits for minor health concerns. 🌐 💫 Contributing to National Goals: Beyond enhancing healthcare access, Britam's initiative aligns with the government's ambitious target to enroll 80% of the population in health insurance coverage by 2030, thus addressing the low insurance penetration in Kenya. 🎯 🔗 Joining Forces for a Healthier Future: Collaborative efforts like this highlight the importance of partnerships to transform healthcare accessibility and affordability.
