Summer Health Partners with SanlamAllianz to Transform Health Insurance
A New Chapter in Healthcare Access
Today, Summer Health announces a strategic partnership with SanlamAllianz, one of Ghana's leading insurance providers. Together, we're building a digital health insurance platform that makes coverage more accessible, affordable, and easy to use for ordinary Ghanaians.
Why This Matters
Despite progress in healthcare access, many Ghanaians still struggle with health insurance. Traditional insurance is often complicated, expensive, and difficult to claim. Many people avoid seeking care because they're unsure what's covered or can't afford upfront costs.
Our partnership aims to change this by bringing modern technology to health insurance.
What We're Building
We're creating a mobile-first insurance platform where patients can:
- Enroll digitally in minutes using their smartphone
- Access cashless care at partner hospitals (no upfront payment)
- Submit claims through a mobile app with quick processing
- See clear, plain-language explanations of coverage
- Get instant answers to insurance questions
For healthcare providers, we're building systems that verify insurance coverage instantly and process claims automatically, reducing paperwork and payment delays.
Starting in Accra, Expanding Nationwide
We're launching with select hospitals in Accra in late 2023, with plans to expand across all 16 regions of Ghana by 2025. Our goal is to make quality health insurance available to millions more Ghanaians.
About the Partnership
SanlamAllianz brings global insurance expertise and financial strength. Summer Health brings technology innovation and deep understanding of Ghana's healthcare landscape. Together, we're combining these strengths to create insurance that actually works for Ghanaian families.
What's Next
Over the coming months, we'll be piloting our platform with partner hospitals and early customers. We'll share updates on our progress and launch timeline.
If you're a healthcare provider interested in joining our network or a company looking to offer employee insurance, we'd love to hear from you.
