At least five in every 10 Kenyans have some form of health or medical insurance.
A report released by Twaweza East Africa on June 6 said 53 per cent of Kenyans have some form of health or medical insurance.
This is a significant increase from three out of 10 (32 per cent) in 2017.
The report further showed that access to health insurance is slightly higher among men than women, and slightly lower among younger and older citizens.
Access is markedly higher in Nairobi compared to other urban areas or rural areas.
This has been associated with education levels and employment status.
This means that better-educated citizens and those in formal employment are more likely to have health insurance.
