INTRODUCTION:
Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes and hypertension are a growing health challenge in Kenya which requires continuous access to medication and long term care to the affected patients. Despite this, patients continue to face challenges in accessing consistent routine treatment due to high out of pocket costs, fragmented financing systems and low insurance penetration. This results in poor medication adherence and financial hardship for the patients leading to deteriorating health outcomes and increased burden on the health system. Problem Statement Current healthcare financing mechanisms remain inadequate to meet the needs of NCD patients in Kenya. Many patients experience treatment interruptions due to unaffordable medicine prices leading to poor adherence. This undermines progress towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and exacerbates the burden of NCDs in resource limited areas therefore creating an urgent need for innovative solutions that benefits both patients and healthcare providers. Solution BorraHealth is a digital tool that partners with select pharmacies and clinics to offer discounted medication rates for NCD patients. Through this model, patients gain affordable access to essential treatment while pharmacies attract and retain more clients. By bridging affordability for patients and growth opportunities for providers, BorraHealth demonstrates a scalable and impactful approach to strengthening NCD care delivery and advancing universal health coverage (UHC) in Kenya by strengthening financial resilience and improving access to care. As a result, increased affordability improves medication adherence leading to better patient outcomes in the long run and wellbeing contributing to SDG3 on good health and well being.
