MOBILE health technology platform CarePay Group, operating in Kenya as M-Tiba, has made key leadership changes with Kenyans now moving to run its operations.
The group has appointed insider Moses Kuria as acting CEO of CarePay International and M-Tiba, which has expanded its operations to Nigeria and Tanzania.
Irene Nafula has been appointed acting managing director of M-Tiba Kenya.
Long serving group CEO Pieter Prickaerts has stepped down after almost seven transformative years at the company.
During this tenure, he played an important role in shaping the CarePay Group and expanding its international presence.
“The Board thanks Pieter for his remarkable leadership and contribution to building the organisation and the foundation for its next phase of growth,” management said in a statement.
As acting CEO, Kuria assumes responsibility for the overall leadership of CarePay Group, focusing on strategic execution and the continued scaling of its health insurance technology platform across the region.
He has been with CarePay for 10 years, most recently as Group chief financial officer, and previously as managing director of M-Tiba. He holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Nairobi.
Nafula will oversee the Kenya business, with responsibility for strategic partnerships, operational performance and client delivery.
She was previously commercial director at M-Tiba, leading partner engagement and enterprise growth.
“Irene brings more than 15 years of healthcare sector experience across product development, operations and delivery,” the firm daid.
She holds a Master of Science in Organisational Development from the United States International University.The changes, the group said, follows a carefully outlined leadership transition.
CarePay, known as M-Tiba in Kenya, partners with health insurers to build member-centric, profitable, and scalable health insurance portfolios across the region.
M-Tiba has cemented its position as a key health insurance technology platform, impacting the health system by connecting over four million users with more than 1,200 providers, reducing claim processing times by 96 per cent and improving access for low-income earners.
It enables digital payments, facilitates UHC enrolment, reduces out-of-pocket costs and provides unsecured loans to over 600 health facilities for expansion.
“By streamlining payments and risk management, M-Tiba creates value for all stakeholders by delivering faster payments, lowering healthcare costs, and improving the overall member experience,” the firm noted.
