Jubilee Health Insurance, in collaboration with DTB (Diamond Trust Bank), has today unveiled a revolutionary innovation that will transform how health insurance premiums are paid. This first-of-its-kind solution in the healthcare industry recognizes that paying insurance premiums upfront once a year can be unaffordable for many Kenyans. To address this, the solution allows customers to pay in flexible installments—”Lipa Polepole”, offering them the freedom to select the number of payments that suit their budget.

This innovation marks a significant leap in the health insurance landscape, combining cutting-edge digital platforms with customer-centric design to solve one of the industry’s most persistent challenges—affordability. For years, many households in Kenya, particularly in rural and lower-income areas, have faced financial barriers when accessing healthcare. According to the Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS) 2022, over 20% of Kenyans still lack access to health insurance, and 30% of the population faces catastrophic healthcare costs due to the burden of upfront medical payments.

Now, with this online process, customers can complete their health insurance transactions in just five easy steps using their mobile phones. Whether purchasing a new health insurance policy or renewing an existing one, customers can apply, select an installment plan, and receive instant approval—ensuring they are covered right away.
