This article — The State of Medical Scheme Administration in East Africa — is a detailed exploration of one of the most pressing topics in African health-tech today. Our editorial team has spoken with practitioners, policymakers, and technologists across Kenya and the region to bring you an analysis grounded in real-world experience.
The full article covers the key drivers behind the trend, the implementation challenges organisations are facing on the ground, and the early results emerging from deployments that have moved beyond pilot phase. It draws on data from LCT Africa's platform — which processes millions of healthcare transactions annually — as well as interviews with medical scheme administrators and healthcare providers.
The piece concludes with a set of practical recommendations for health scheme administrators and county governments looking to navigate this landscape — and a look at what LCT's product roadmap holds for the next 12 months.
