Parents, are you aware that your public secondary school child has comprehensive medical cover courtesy of the government? I bet most of you don't know.
Edu Afya- Health Public Secondary Cover
Your son or daughter has a comprehensive Health Cover for Public Secondary school Form 1- 4- by the Government of Kenya and NHIF
They are covered in both Outpatient and In-patient- They can access foreign medical care, from INDIA or any other COUNTRY (Overseas Treatment) and you do not have to pay any cent. (After Preauthorization)
