The Changamka Medical Smart Card allows people who have no access to medical plans or insurance cover to save money using M-PESA transfers. Savings can be used to pay for primary health care, specified laboratory tests and drugs at pre-contracted prices. In a Public Private Partnership (PPP) Programme with a maternal health clinic, the health savings plan was extended to antenatal, delivery, post natal as well as outpatient care in 2010.
