Nairobi, October 31, 2023. – Power Financial Wellness, is pleased to announce that it has today, entered into an agreement with HealthX Africa, a fully equipped, and virtual medical facility that offers health care consultation, mental health counseling, and wellness services to HealthX users. Under the agreement, Power will unveil to its users unlimited 24/7 telemedical care provided by HealthX Medical Doctors, Clinical Psychologists, and Clinical Nutritionists at an extremely affordable cost.
Power’s platform is connecting companies and their workforces to a holistic set of digital financial services. Power, which already has insurance options on its platform, will now give users an opportunity to sign up for HealthX Africa telehealthcare services on the platform, making the app a one-stop shop for users interested in medical care and insurance. Users who sign up for HealthX will also have an opportunity to pay for the services in affordable monthly installments.
The HealthX platform allows users to access unlimited healthcare consultation, mental health consultation, and nutrition/wellness services from wherever they are and whenever they want (day or night, 7 days a week), only visiting a hospital when physical visits are necessary. The telemedical service can be taken up by companies too, meaning a reduction in employee absenteeism, improved sick leave support, and increased overall workforce productivity and physical and mental wellbeing.

Through Power, employees can access their earnings early, save and invest every time they get paid, qualify for long-term loans, and enroll in insurance products, all from the comfort of their phone.

HealthX Africa employees – who work round the clock to provide high quality telemedical care – will not need to worry about visiting their banks or filling in forms to get their earned wages or access other financial services, all available on the Power platform to partner employers.

With the addition of HealthX in the Protect module of the Power Platform, users can now access affordable physical and mental healthcare services with a click of a button.
