Now That There’s Lipa Pole Pole, There’s No Reason to Miss Out on Health Insurance

For decades, health insurance in Kenya has been viewed as a luxury, something reserved for people in formal employment or those earning steady monthly incomes. For the majority of Kenyans working in the informal sector, surviving on inconsistent earnings, health insurance felt out of reach. And because of that, most families have lived without it, not because they didn’t value it, but because they couldn’t afford to pay for it all at once.

But today, that reality has changed. Jubilee Health Insurance’s Lipa Pole Pole model is a breakthrough that removes the biggest barrier to access: the burden of lump-sum payments.

Instead of waiting until you can raise KSh 80,000 or more for a year’s cover, you can now get protected by paying in small, manageable instalments, monthly, or quarterly, depending on what works for your budget. The same way you contribute to a chama or save for school fees is the same way you can now build your health cover. Step by step. Pole pole.

This shift is more than financial; it’s psychological. It reframes insurance not as a distant, expensive event, but as a simple habit part of everyday life. It says to every business person: “You, too, can have health cover. You don’t have to wait. You don’t have to beg. You don’t have to go without.”

We all know the danger of being unprepared; a single hospital bill can wipe out years of savings. A simple delay in treatment can turn into an emergency, and yet, time and time again, families are forced to turn to harambees or emergency loans, not because they didn’t care, but because there was no system to help them prepare. Now there is.

With Lipa Pole Pole, you no longer need to wait for disaster to act. You can start with what you have and unlock access to dignified care for yourself and your loved ones. Whether it’s J-Junior for your children, JCare for you and your spouse, or J-Senior for your parents, Jubilee has structured plans you can pay for over time without strain.

The best part? The entire process is digital. You can sign up from your phone, pay through M-PESA, and start enjoying peace of mind all without visiting an office. It’s simple. It’s flexible. It’s designed with your life in mind.

So if you’ve ever said, “I want insurance, but I can’t pay it all at once,” Lipa Pole Pole answers that call. And if you still delay, the risk is no longer about affordability, it’s about decision.

Now that access is no longer the issue, the only thing standing between your family and healthcare is action. And with Jubilee’s Lipa Pole Pole, that action has never been easier to take.
