CarePay in Kenya

CarePay was first established in Kenya with an initial investment from the M-PESA Foundation (funded by M-Pesa, the hugely popular mobile payment system launched by Safaricom/Vodafone) and the Investment Funds for Health in Africa (IFHA). CarePay partnered with PharmAccess Foundation and Kenyan telco Safaricom to develop a smart health payment distribution platform branded as M-TIBA as Kenya.

In Kenya, M-TIBA is the preferred health payment platform for the government, retail and private health sector. It is a proven health payments integrator, revolutionising the management of large-scale health schemes and supporting the drive for Universal Health Coverage in Kenya.

So far, M-TIBA has connected over 4 million users and 1,200 healthcare providers to the platform. Its scale and increasing data value have attracted a growing number of public and private partners, including corporate employers, the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF), institutional donors, banks and private insurers.
