The last time Ian went to the hospital, they told him to reduce stress. His doctor also suggested a psychiatrist he could visit if he wanted to get mental health treatment. Unfortunately, the psychiatrist was out of his price range. He also couldn\u2019t afford the subsequent sessions in addition to the consultation fees. He didn\u2019t earn enough money to get mental healthcare, and the free counsellors in his area specialised in extreme cases. If you didn\u2019t have an emergency, they didn\u2019t prioritize your treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Ian, this was upsetting. He knew he needed to talk to someone, especially a professional. His friends and family were supportive, but they weren\u2019t trained. They used their personal experiences to inform their assistance, but he needed more. He just couldn\u2019t afford it. When he was considering selling his smart TV to finally afford to see the psychiatrist, he saw an ad on Twitter (now X.com). Equity Afya posted a flyer showing affordable psychology services in his area. All he had to do was call to set up an appointment to get a session. It was easy and affordable. For Ksh. 1500 per session, he was finally able to get the help he needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Equity Afya has all kinds of services in various areas that help regular people access healthcare that may usually be inaccessible. This includes services like psychology, ophthalmology, dental services or heart health services. General consultations are Ksh. 500 . With how affordable they are, more people can finally get access to healthcare that was unavailable to them because of cost. In addition, Equity Afya avails these services across the country and in multiple towns, making sure that people can access healthcare regardless of where they\u2019re located.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being able to know about chronic conditions early enough helps you manage them better. It makes it easy to plan finances and avoid ending up in severe medical debt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being healthier makes it easier to live your daily life.

This helps you plan your work-life balance and enables you to prioritise your health.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lower healthcare costs mean being able to save money even when getting great healthcare. This means you can focus on savings and investing more in financial ventures. It also means improving your lifestyle because your savings don\u2019t have to be drained by accessing healthcare.<\/span><\/p>\n
