JUBILEE HEALTH INSURANCE LAUNCHES A NEW CARDLESS HEALTH PRODUCT

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (June 3, 2022) – Jubilee Health Insurance launched a new low-end product called Pamoja Afya, in Dar es Salaam.

The new product was unveiled at a launch event at the Onomo Hotel Dar es Salaam.

Speaking at the launch event the Mr. Eliezer Rweikiza, Communications and Relations Manager from Tanzania Insurance Regulatory Authority (TIRA) said that “Jubilee Health has done a very good thing to come up with this cardless product, even the Authority will find it easier to recommend people to buy your products”.

He said that “TIRA has set a target to ensure the implementation of insurance services reaches all Tanzanians, to promote the insurance market, to ensure 80% of Tanzanians have insurance coverage by 2028, and 50% of citizens have health insurance by 2028. Therefore, we urge Jubilee Health Insurance to create more products, come to TIRA and we will bless you”

Pamoja Afya is a low-end product designed to support government initiative on Universal Health Coverage by promoting accessibility of health insurance in rural areas to individual members, SACCOS, VICOBA etc., to increase awareness of health insurance which in turn will increase penetration level; the current insurance penetration level is less than 1%, and to encourage Tanzanians to incorporate health insurance as a means of risk management which in turn will increase life expectancy of a normal Tanzanian and allow access to better health services.

While unveiling Jubilee Health Insurance’s new product, the CEO Dr. Harold Adamson, stated that “Our cardless product Pamoja Afya aims to support the government agenda of universal health coverage, we expect the members of this product to attend government facilities and mission hospitals”.

Mr. Adamson pledged that Jubilee Health Insurance will work closely with government facilities to ensure that members are getting quality services.

“Our goal will be to maintain the best-practice governance standards, while ensuring quality, and wide access of service is not negotiable” added the CEO.

In addition to the new product, Jubilee Health Insurance products include Jubilee Afya, J-Care, Corporate and SME health covers.
