BRITAM Insurance Tanzania has partnered with Bank of Africa (BOA) Tanzania to increase access to health insurance products.

The move comes at a time when the two companies aim to leverage the extensive customer base of the bank to ensure that more individuals and families have access to affordable and comprehensive healthcare services.

The insurance schemes are designed to cater to the diverse medical needs of the bank’s customers, providing them with peace of mind and financial security in times of health-related emergencies.

Farai Dogo, CEO of the insurance company, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "We are delighted to join forces with the bank to bring two health insurance schemes.

“This partnership aligns with our commitment to making quality healthcare accessible to all Tanzanians. By working together, we can reach more people and provide them with the protection they need to lead healthier lives," said Dogo.

Esther Cecil Maruma, CEO, of BOA, highlighted the significance of the new products for Bank of Africa customers, saying, "Our collaboration with the insurer is a testament to our dedication to offering exceptional services to our customers,” she said.

According to her, the products not only enhance our product offerings but also ensure our customers access essential healthcare services. The initiative underscores our commitment to improving the overall well-being of the community.

Eva Daudi Kakwale, Principal Officer of Bancassurance added that these products will be available to all customers in Tanzania, marking a significant step towards increasing healthcare access and insurance penetration in Tanzania.

George Mwita, the insurers’ Medical Business Manager said the products are tailored to meet the specific healthcare needs of Bank of Africa customers.

 “These products are designed to provide comprehensive coverage and support, ensuring our clients receive the best possible medical care. We believe this partnership will set a new standard for healthcare insurance in Tanzania,” he said.

The launch of the products represents a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to improve healthcare access and insurance coverage in Tanzania and to support the initiatives of Tanzania’s President Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan to ensure Health Insurance is accessible to all.
