Business Daily: - Home Medical smart card extended to maternal care
Kenyans can now save towards the cost of childbirth at the country’s largest maternity hospital, thanks to a medical smart card system.
The prepaid card offered by Nairobi’s Pumwani Maternity Hospital enables holders to upload small amounts of money through the M-PESA cellphone money transfer facility.
When women visit Pumwani, the cost of their medical care is deducted from their savings on the pre-paid card.
