Kinship in Nigeria
Kinship operates in Nigeria through its Care Partner: nurse visits at home, health benefits via a hospital network, and a Kinkeeper for every member.
Kinship's care is delivered in Nigeria by the Kinship team. The nurses who visit, the Kinkeeper who reviews their reports and the doctor members talk to are all in Nigeria; the people chipping in are usually in the UK.
The health benefits in Kinship Well are provided through the Care Partner's arrangement with a licensed provider, and used through that provider's hospital network. Members get the provider's full benefit document when they enrol.
What Kinship does here
Kinship Visits by qualified nurses
Visits are delivered by registered nurses on the Kinship team, vetted and trained to Kinship's standard. Every visit is written up and reviewed before the family sees it.
A hospital network across Nigeria
Kinship Well members use their health benefits through a network of more than 1,000 hospitals and clinics. Ask us for the list in their area.
A named Kinkeeper
A Kinkeeper is a registered nurse who does not do the visiting: she reviews every visit report before the family sees it, signs it off, and is the person the family knows by name.
A doctor to talk to
Members can talk to a doctor through the app when they need one, in their language, without waiting for a visit.
