Meet Kemi Ayinde: Techpreneur reinventing health insurance vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
emi Ayinde is a techpreneur with an uncommon passion to reinvent health insurance in Nigeria. She is co-founder of several tech startup companies among which is Healthpoint — a firm which is making it possible for virtually everyone to afford health insurance coverage. In this interview, she shares her passion for creative tech solutions and the motivation behind her latest innovation.I was born into a wonderful and tightly bonded family of five. My parents are from Abeokuta, Ogun state.
Again, because of our passion and drive to promote health inclusion in Nigeria, we have an annual program where we provide free health insurance cover for widows, orphans and vulnerable children. We know it is difficult for this class of people to acquire a health plan for themselves, so we have a mandate to do this every year. This year, we have beneficiaries from Jakins Home, Street Child Care and Welfare Initiative , and Child Life Line Organization.
Despite the significant benefits of health insurance, which has been proven globally as the most efficient means to finance medical expenses, many people are still not convinced to acquire one. Nigerians and Africans generally are very religious and spiritual people who believe that God will never allow them experience any mishap, until they eventually do.
