List Of Hospitals In Nyeri County For TSC Teachers

One good thing about being a TSC teacher is that all of them have their medical and that of their loved ones covered under Minet Kenya and are able to visit specifically designated hospitals for treatment. Some can even be airlifted outside the country.

As COVID-19 hit, Kenyan teachers became the first to be assured of their medical expenses being catered for in the event that they contract COVID-19 while at work. No other sector, including within the Ministry of Health has been able to do this.

The number of hospitals in Nyeri County where TSC teachers can visit and get treated courtesy of Minet Kenya has been increased.

Since the opening of schools amid the pandemic, there have been fewer cases of COVID-19 reported among teachers and learners. Experts had predicted a surge in the number of infections due to the opening of the schools but all has been well so far.
