May 28, 2025 • 3 min read
Healthcare in Kenya is getting a digital upgrade. From mobile consultations to health monitoring apps, tech is stepping into spaces that used to be complicated and time-consuming. Insurance companies are noticing this trend and starting to partner with healthtech startups.

The big opportunity here is making healthcare affordable and accessible — not just in Nairobi, but in rural areas where hospitals are scarce.
