OIF has developed an integrated, scalable, and sustainable healthcare delivery model which focuses on disease prevention and general health care. The Health Pillar was established in 2014 to champion access to affordable high quality healthcare services across the country.
OIB Afia Clinics
Equity Afia (EQA) was established in 2015 under the Equity Group Foundation’s (EGF) Health pillar as a response to the growing need for affordable and accessible quality healthcare for Kenyans. We operate a franchise of medical outpatient centres, run by qualified and experienced doctors who are alumni of the Equity Leaders Program. Currently, Equity Afia runs 118 medical centres in Ongata Rongai, Kawangware, Lodwar, Kayole, Thika, Ruiru, Nyeri, Nakuru, Kahawa West, Kapenguria, Utawala, Karatina, Kitale among others.
Our work in the health sector
In our bid to promote access to reliable healthcare services across the country, we actively seek out and partner with like-minded healthcare providers, enabling them to provide quality services without the limitation of infrastructure and facilities. We work to bridge the gap in areas that lack quality healthcare resources while trying to meet the WHO recommended doctor-patient ratio of 1:1000 against the country’s current ratio of 1:6000. There’s a clear opportunity to enrich the medical sector in the country.
- Client Reform: Social marketing campaigns, technology and mobile phone applications are deployed to increase healthcare and health insurance literacy across Kenya.
- Insurance Reform: Provider and patient-informed comprehensive health insurance schemes are being developed using capitation payment models for outpatient services and bundled care payment models for inpatient services, to counter the prevailing, unsustainable fee-for-service model.
