EcoSure Health Launches EcoSureMed Plans from $5 a Month

In Short

EcoSure Health has launched EcoSureMed, a healthcare product for Zimbabweans.

EcoSureMed offers medical cover, ambulance services and funeral cover from US$5 a month.

The plan also provides airtime and data to members when they are hospitalised.

What Happened: How EcoSureMed Extends Micro Health Insurance

EcoSure Health launched EcoSureMed as a new healthcare product aimed at expanding access to healthcare in Zimbabwe.

EcoSureMed bundles medical cover, ambulance services and funeral cover, with pricing starting at US$5 a month.

EcoSure says the product extends conventional micro health insurance, meaning low cost insurance designed for people who cannot afford larger monthly premiums.

EcoSureMed also targets practical issues that come with illness, not only medical bills.

Members receive airtime and data when they are hospitalised, which EcoSure says helps them stay in touch with family, friends, employers and others they rely on for support.

Why It Matters

For many people, being hospitalised can create extra costs beyond treatment, including the need to communicate with family and work.

By adding airtime and data during hospital stays, EcoSureMed positions micro health insurance as a wider support package, not only a payout for healthcare services.

The addition of ambulance services and funeral cover in a single product may also appeal to households looking for predictable monthly costs starting from US$5.
