Customers can choose from amongst different categories, including: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
To sign up for the service, customers are required to subscribe for different categories, at a rate of between Sh2,300 and Sh10,500 annually.
Managing Director Paul Russo said they will continuously focus on intricacies touching on their customers.
"We are doing all it takes, including striking strategic partnerships to unlock more value for Kenyans,” he said.
“Health is wealth. One of the best ways that we can protect our wealth is by paying keen attention to our health and well-being."
The Maisha Air Ambulance Plan is available for the bank’s retail, corporate and MSME clients.
