AON Minet is a company that provides medical services to teachers. Good news is that Aon Minet will now cover teachers for treatment of covid-19 related complications.
In a statement, TSC boss Dr. Nancy Macharia stated that any teacher who will be diagnosed with Covid-19 and exhibits symptoms, will be treated at hospitals that have brokered a deal with AoN Minet.
“In line with this, the Minet Kenya-led Consortium in conjunction with TSC has been and will continue to support government’s efforts to combat Covid-19 by ensuring that any scheme member diagnosed with Covid-19 and exhibits symptoms, is able to access medical treatment at the designated scheme medical facilities,” stated TSC CEO Dr. Nancy Macharia.
In a bid to make accessibility to this service more easier, the commission introduced USSD tool and tele-counselling toll-free line, where teachers and their their dependents can use to report any covid-19 case.
“We have introduced of a Covid-19 incidence reporting USSD tool *202*07# for teachers and their dependents and mental health and psychosocial support tele-counselling toll-free line 0800720029,” Macharia said, adding this will allow members to access treatment via telemedicine.
