Your license keeps your doors open, but your hospital malpractice insurance cover keeps them from closing when the unexpected event happens.
Across healthcare systems in Kenya, all hospitals are required to procure hospital malpractice (professional indemnity) insurance cover from a licensed insurance company of their choice to meet licensing or accreditation standards.
For many, this becomes an annual check-box exercise to satisfy regulators, rather than a strategic financial protection measure. Yet, hospital malpractice insurance is not a complex process. It should be recognized as a financial shield and business reputational safeguard against unpredictable, often devastating professional legal claims. When a claim strikes, it’s not the regulator who helps. It’s your insurance policy, your insurer, and your preparedness.
