More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Low income households in urban areas always face problems of low nutrition and unhygienic living conditions which often lead to diseases that require hospital care. Lack of resources force low income households to treat patients at home, resulting in mortality. The microhealth product aims to empower clients to hedge against such contingencies by providing low cost hospitalization due to illness and accident. A need for a health related product was consistently identified in our surveys.
Activities
Working on a partner-agent model, Kashf acts as an interface between clients and insurance company facilitating the latter by providing them access to clientele and screening information and the former by provision of health services.
