Stanbic Bank, Prudential launch joint Medical Insurance Cover for Ugandans

By

With Shs 600, 000 (USD166) investment, Stanbic customers are now able to acquire for themselves and loved ones, annual medical insurance cover of up to Shs 20million this, courtesy of Stanbic MediProtect, a joint offer by the bank and Prudential Uganda.

Unveiled at a press conference in Kampala, today, MediProtect is open to Stanbic Bank Uganda customers and any of their nominated dependents, irrespective of age.

Ugandans can choose between three MediProtect packages based on affordability with the least priced policy being Silver accessible at Shs  600,000 per annum, which allows policy holders to enjoy medical cover worth up to Shs 20m in annual value.

The Gold package whose premium costs Shs 1,000, 000 offers up to Shs 70m in medical cover value for a year while Platinum category available at Shs 2 million gives policy holders nearly Shs 120million in annual value and a long list of benefits.

Without a national health insurance programme the Stanbic Bank MediProtect is the closest a Ugandan without formal medical cover from an employer can get an affordable health insurance.

MediProtect cover can be accessed by policyholders at over 380 medical outlets across the country that are affiliated to Prudential Uganda.

Pandemic lessons

Sam Mwogeza, Stanbic Bank’s Executive Head for Consumer Banking said, “MediProtect is a direct lesson from our experience as a country in the last two years of the Covid-19 pandemic—we are offering a solution that enables every Stanbic Uganda customer to get medical insurance for themselves, relatives and loved ones and be assured of accessing professional medical care when they fall ill.” 

Although medical insurance is fast growing in Uganda, 2018 research by Insurance Institute of Uganda found that only 5 percent of Ugandans had health insurance; most of those are on corporate medical schemes sponsored by their employers.

“At the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, we lost many of our people who couldn’t afford medical bills even those deemed to be relatively well off, financially, were drained of all their cash savings due to prolonged hospitalisation.

So, as leaders in our respective industries, we have decided to do something about it; to give our clients the opportunity to secure their lives such that they can afford to take care of their medical bills,” said Dogo Singh, the Head of Bancassurance at Stanbic Bank Uganda.

Tetteh Ayitevie, CEO Prudential Uganda said, “our purpose at Prudential is to help people make the most out of life and we believe that Stanbic MediProtect is a demonstration that we are dedicated to helping individuals and families in every step of their health, wealth, and wellness journey; by ensuring they can afford good medical care, which is core to good health.

We are therefore happy to partner with Stanbic Bank to provide this health insurance Plan and urge all Stanbic Bank’s customers to cover their relatives, friends and loved ones.”

Flexible cover

Stanbic MediProtect is a flexible insurance cover allowing clients who already have an insurance cover by virtue of their employment, to buy a medical insurance package for their loved ones and dependents who may not fall under their employer’s cover.

The product also covers advanced age adults of up to 75 years and can be accessed by anyone regardless of geographical location through Stanbic Bank’s website.

Stanbic MediProtect has been designed with the customer’s needs in mind offering solutions to pre existing barriers to the uptake of medical insurance. Stanbic Bank and Prudential Uganda believe that this product will be the start to every family actively ensuring that all its members and close relatives are covered against medical emergencies.

According to Paul Nagemi, the Chief Health Officer at Prudential Uganda, this product underscores the importance of having something set aside for a rainy day including both savings and health insurance.

“We are glad to not only unveil this partnership with Stanbic Bank Uganda but also launch this unique product that will enable customers to add as many beneficiaries as they want to, at very affordable contributions.

The beneficiaries can be their immediate, extended family or financial dependents. This product provides competitive outpatient (dentistry, optical antenatal and inpatient benefits in over 200health facilities countrywide,” he said.

According To the World Health Organization Global Expenditure database, an estimated 38% percent of Uganda’s health expenditures are paid by individuals through out-of-pocket costs, followed by development partners (41%), the government (16%), and others (5%).

Chronic staff shortfalls stifle Africa’s health systems – WHO study

By

Vaccination

A serious shortage of health workers in Africa is undermining access to and provision of health services even though countries in the region have made efforts to bolster the workforce, a new World Health Organization (WHO) study finds.

The study, titled “The health workforce status in the WHO African Region: findings of a cross-sectional study” published this week in the British Medical Journal Global Health and which surveyed 47 African countries, finds that the region has a ratio of 1.55 health workers (physicians, nurses and midwives) per 1000 people. This is below the WHO threshold density of 4.45 health workers per 1000 people needed to deliver essential health services and achieve universal health coverage.

Only four countries (Mauritius, Namibia, Seychelles and South Africa) have surpassed the WHO health worker-to-population ratio.

The region’s health workforce is also unevenly distributed by country, ranging from 0.25 health workers per 1000 people in Niger (the region’s lowest) to 9.15 health workers per 1000 people in the Seychelles, the highest in the region.

There were approximately 3.6 million health workers in the 47 countries surveyed as of 2018. Thirty-seven per cent of them are nurses and midwives, 9% are medical doctors, 10% laboratory personnel, 14% are community health workers, 14% are other health workers, and 12% are administrative and support staff.

Africa’s long-standing health worker shortage stems from several factors, including inadequate training capacity, rapid population growth, international migration, weak governance of the health workforce, career changes as well as poor retention of health personnel. It is projected that the shortage of health workers in Africa will reach 6.1 million by 2030, a 45% increase from 2013, the last time projections were estimated.

 “The severe shortage of health workers in Africa has daunting implications. Without adequate and well-trained workforce, tackling challenges such as maternal and infant mortality, infectious diseases, non-communicable illnesses and providing essential basic services like vaccination remains an uphill battle,” said Dr Matshidiso Moeti, WHO Regional Director for Africa.

Globally, the Western Pacific region which includes Australia, China, Japan and Malaysia had the highest number of doctors at 4.1 million, and 7.6 million nurses in 2020, a report on human resource for health by the WHO Director-General to the 2022 World Health Assembly showed. The European region had 3.4 million medical doctors and 7.4 million nurses. Comparatively, the African region had around 300 000 doctors and 1.2 million nurses.

To reinforce Africa’s health system, it is critical to address the persistent shortages and poor distribution of the health workforce. Countries need to significantly increase investments for building the health workforce to meet their current and future needs. Strong measures are also needed to boost training and recruitment of health workers as well as to improve their deployment and retention.

Several African countries have made progress to plug the deficit, however, the WHO study published this week acknowledges that resolving the health workforce shortages remains difficult due to the complexity and the scope of the issue.

Gov’t gives two days ultimatum for striking teachers to resume their duties

A teacher in class

The Ministry of Public Service has given two days ultimatum for all striking teachers to resume their duties.

On June 15, 2022, teachers under Uganda National Teachers Union (UNATU) staged industrial action citing discriminatory salary enhancement and government’s failure to honour collective bargaining agreement signed in 2018.

Mrs. Catherine Bitarakwate Musingwiire, the Permanent Secretary said government is committed toward salary enhancement for all public officers.

“This is evidenced by the phased salary enhancement that has so far been achieved, its implementation will continue within the available resources. For example, in the last two years we have had to put aside other priorities to deal with the survival of against Covid-19. The priority of the government was addressing Covid-19 not salary enhancement,” she said.

She said the current enhancement for science teachers was informed by the available resources, the number of teachers involved and the impact that can be made by the scientists to the development of this country.

“We have no doubt that you agree that we need an educated workforce in all aspects of life but more in science. This in our view will attract and retain the critical skill that is required by the country at this material time.”

Whereas teachers like other government employees have rights and freedom enjoyed under constitution and others laws, including the right to withdraw labour, Bitarakwate  said the current industrial action by members of UNATU is illegal and in breach of principals and spirit of the law  particular section 7 (2)(a) and (b) and 8 (1) and (3) and Public Service Negotiating, Consultative and Dispute Settlement Machinery Act 2008 and Recognition Agreement signed and this Act because neither has UNATU a notice to strike nor had the Dispute Settlement Machinery been exhausted.

“The claim that the strike had been ongoing since 2019 and hence there was no need for new notice is both fallacious and not legally tenable. We have noted with concern that you and your members have decided to close schools. We wish to advise you that no teacher, whether on strike or not, has the legal right or jurisdiction to close a public school without the concurrence of the government,” she said.

She said while the government is committed to working with all parties towards achieving better salaries for public servants, teacher’s demands for salary enhancement cannot be addressed in the financial year 2022/2023.

She urged teachers to resume their duties at their respective work station by 24th July 2022. Any teacher who doesn’t comply with this call will be regarded as having absconded from duty and resigned from public service in accordance with section A-N of the public service Standing orders 2021.

“Teachers who are not willing to work under the prevailing terms and conditions are free to withdraw their labour provided for under section A-N of the public service Standing orders 2021. Teachers who don’t agree to the above to seek legal redress in courts of law,” she said.

She urged town clerks and Chief Administrative officers to take stock of teachers present and submit absent teachers by the 30th June 2022 for eventual removal from payroll.

 Zadock Tumuhimbise, the chairperson of Uganda National Teachers Union (UNATU) said; “we have received the intimidating letter as expected. Whatever we are doing is within the provisions of the law. We are very safe.”

“Our legal teams are on course to make a response to the letter. Soon our official spokesperson will give us a detailed update. Otherwise; the Industrial Action is still on course. Keep consistent,” he said.

Archbishop Kaziimba meets East African religious leaders

The Archbishop of Church of Uganda The Most Rev Dr Stephen Samuel Kaziimba has convened a meeting of senior religious leaders from the East African Region to discuss the ongoing conflict in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

The meeting held today under the auspices of the Inter Religious Council of Uganda at Namirembe Guesthouse in Kampala was attended by His Eminence, Sheikh Shaban Ramadhan Mubaje – Grand Mufti of Uganda/Co-Chair African Council of Religious Leaders; Bishop Francis Karemera representing The Most Revd. Dr. Laurent Mbanda – Primate of Rwanda; and The Most Revd. Dr. Ande Georges Titre – Primate of DRC.

Archbishop Kaziimba, the convener the meeting and Chairperson of the Inter Religious Council of Uganda said the meeting was to re-affirm their commitment on peace, security and democracy in Democratic Republic of Congo and the East African Community at large.

In a joint Statement by the Senior Religious Leaders, there is need to respect the fundamental principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter and Constitutive Act of the African Union.

The Statement further reads;

….Considering that respect for Human Rights represents a fundamental guarantee against threats to peace and internal security of states.

Determined to build on the principles of peace and dialogue found in the Holy Scriptures.

Considering that people in all their diversities are created in the image of God and are equal before Him.

We are deeply troubled by the situation in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. We are particularly concerned by the loss of life and property that has been brought about by the conflict, including the increase in the refugee crisis, tribal and national sentiments, xenophobic tendencies which could result into a genocide.

The current situation in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo combined with economic downflow characterized by the increase in the prices of goods and services within the region threatens to undermi undermine the aspirations of the East African Community.

As religious leaders, we appreciate the steps being taken to integrate the Democratic Republic of Congo into the East African Community. We urge the political leadership to urgently use this framework to resolve the ongoing crisis. The East African people share the same destiny and everything must be done at our disposal to ensure their survival.

We call upon all those that are caught up in the conflict to embrace dialogue as a means for resolving their aggrievances.

We acknowledge the strains and pressures that the refugee host countries and communities maybe going through but we encourage them in the spirit of good neighborliness to provide a conducive environment for their brothers and sisters who are running for their lives.

We call upon the international community to reach out with humanitarian assistance to those that have been affected by this conflict and the countries where they have settled.

In the spirit of Genesis 4:9-10, “The Lord said, “what have you done? Listen Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground”, we feel challenged to intervene on behalf of our suffering brothers and sisters. We intend to convene senior religious leaders from the region under the auspices of the East African Inter-Religious Council in partnership with All Africa Conferences of Churches (AACC), Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa (CAPA), Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA), Africa Council of Religious Leaders (ACRL) and Fellowship of Churches and Councils in the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa (FECCLAHA) to discuss a framework for accompanying our political leaders in the region towards sustainable peace.

We pray for our brothers and sisters in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo that feel aggrieved and frustrated by this conflict to exercise restraint and tolerance to other ethnicities and nationalities as we all work towards lasting peace.
