The PiggyVest, Nigeria’s foremost automated savings and investment platform has partnered with WellaHealth under its CSR initiative tagged Partnership for Good to provide Malaria Health Cover to Nigerians.

The theme for this year’s World Malaria Day is ‘Harness Innovation to reduce the Malaria Disease burden’.
The Head of Business Development of WellaHealth, Collins Jacobs, said that partnerships are a unique way through which the Malaria disease burden can be reduced.
“At WellaHealth We believe that everyone deserves access to affordable and high-quality health care -an idea that PiggyVest subscribes to, hence this partnership,” Jacobs said.
He said that the Malaria Health Plan provides beneficiaries with cover for Malaria test and treatment, typhoid cover when Malaria is negative, treatment for fever and pains, treatment for cough and cold, treatment for stomach upsets and allergies among others.
He said that there is also access to talk to a doctor 24/7 as long as the plan is active. “Beneficiaries will wait four Days to begin to enjoy the benefits of their plan once activated. As part of this initiative, various Community Sensitization and Awareness activities will be happening across the Country.
“While there, beneficiaries will be able to activate their plan, learn about the claims process as well as get vital information on their health and management,” he said.
He said that the PiggyVest supporting this initiative will enable beneficiaries to gain access to quality healthcare at the micro and primary.
He said, “This partnership is geared toward ensuring that Nigeria is rid of Malaria and will give both users and non-users of PiggyVest access to the Malaria Health Cover provided by WellaHealth.”
