The M-TIBA Digital Platform
The digital platform for inclusive healthcare is transforming how people in Kenya are paying for and accessing healthcare. Just last June, it received the FT/IFC Transformational Business Award in the category Achievement in Sustainable Development, with a focus on Health, Wellness and Disease Prevention.
M-TIBA, developed by PharmAccess, Safaricom and CarePay Limited, enables people to save, send, receive and pay money for medical treatment through a mobile health wallet on their phone.
The digital platform allows for a more efficient and transparent way of connecting patients, doctors, payers and governments. This connection is based on a constant flow of almost real-time data.
It also provides a platform for healthcare benefits, such as vouchers and insurance. So far, more than ten (international) donor and corporate schemes are running on M-TIBA, including NHIF.
It has support from a broad range of public and private partners. This include the Dutch government, M-PESA Foundation, Pfizer Foundation, Gilead and the Dutch Postcode Lottery, support M-TIBA.
