Every Time the Phone Rings From Home… You Worry. A Message to Kenyans in the Diaspora.
It’s 2 AM in the UK. Your phone rings. It’s home. You already know it’s not good news.
That moment of dread is all too familiar for many Kenyans and East Africans living abroad. The question isn’t who is calling, it’s what’s wrong. Is mum okay? Can they get to a hospital? Will the care be affordable? Can you send the money in time?
You send money. Again. But deep down, you wonder, why does it always come to this?
The Invisible Burden of Being the “Provider” from Afar
You went abroad for a better life for yourself and for the family who raised you. You send money for school fees, rent, upkeep, and emergencies. But when it comes to medical issues, everything stops.
You feel:
- The urgency to send money at a moment’s notice
- The guilt when it’s not enough or arrives too late
- The helplessness of being thousands of miles away
- The pressure of being the “emergency plan” every time
You’re strong but you shouldn’t have to carry it all alone.
Why Sending Money Isn’t Always Enough
Diaspora remittances to Kenya hit a record USD 4.19 billion in 2023, according to the Central Bank of Kenya. A significant portion goes to healthcare support for loved ones. But here’s the hard truth, sending money doesn’t guarantee timely care.
Funds can delay, care can be postponed; one hospital bill can wipe out a month’s earnings. Worse, your loved one might avoid going to the hospital altogether, waiting for your go-ahead.
Imagine if your family could access medical care instantly, without needing to call you first.
That’s what Jubilee Health Insurance’s Diaspora Health Cover is designed to do. It replaces the panic with protection, and the delay with dignity.
With this cover:
- Your parents, children, or dependents can walk into over 500 hospitals across Kenya
- They receive inpatient & outpatient treatment, from consultations to surgeries
- Chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension are covered
- Maternity, dental, and optical services are included
- Access to wellness solutions like free drug delivery.
Who Is This For?
- Diaspora professionals with aging parents in Kenya
- Parents abroad with children schooling back home
- Anyone tired of scrambling during medical emergencies
- People who’ve ever said: “Let me send something small for hospital”
“I used to panic every time I got a call from home. Now, my mum is covered. She gets care without waiting, and I sleep better.” — Grace W., Nurse in the UK
Your family doesn’t just need your money, they need peace of mind, they need to walk into a hospital and say, “Yes, I’m covered.”
Let your next call home be filled with peace not panic.
