Minet Kenya – Full details and guide

December 13, 2024

When looking for the best value in insurance, you need to look for more than just the cheapest insurance policies. While price is a vital component, a valuable insurance policy should provide you with reliable coverage while minimizing your budget.

Minet Insurance Kenya prides itself on offering this and much more.

Minet, a trusted pan-African advisor, was established almost 70 years ago as JH Minet Company. In 1997, AON, the leading worldwide provider of risk management, human resource consulting and outsourcing, attained the U.K. stakeholder, London Minet, as part of their African expansion master plan.

With that, the firm became AON Minet, and afterwards, AON. The company strives to meet future uncertainties by delivering risk and human capital solutions.

It also has access to a network of over 50,000 colleagues in 120 countries and patented data, research, and analytics, which allows them to manage and safeguard the risks of tomorrow.

INSURANCE POLICIES AT MINET

Minet offers a range of insurance policies, which include flood insurance, funeral insurance, facultative reinsurance, risk benefits insurance and medical aid, and group schemes.

One of their most noteworthy medical schemes is the AON Minet insurance for teachers. Since the Teachers Serve Commission (TSC) re-awarded AON Minet a three-year contract, over 318,000 employees have medical cover.

REQUIREMENTS AND ELIGIBILITY OF THE 2020 TSC AON MINET MEDICAL SCHEME

Requirements and eligibility of the 2020 TSC AON Minet medical scheme For you to qualify for the cover, you need to be a teacher employed by the TSC and in active service.

DETAILS ABOUT CHANGE OF DEPENDENTS
