The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has launched a new mobile application for all teachers. The new App (Walimucare App) will enable the teachers access Covid-19 health tips, talk to a doctor and get medical advice on all ailments; without necessarily doing a physical visit to the hospital.
In her speech during the release of 2020 KCSE results,TSC CEO Dr. Nancy Macharia said that Walimucare App is a huge milestone towards bringing health cover closer to the teachers.
“WalimuCare app allows teachers to access tele-medicine access anytime and from anywhere, including isolation centres and their homes.” Said Dr. Macharia.
She further assured teachers that the Commission has provided full medical cover for COVID-19-related ailments as well as a medical insurance application through their health insurance provider MINET.
According to Dr. Macharia, the app allows teachers on TSC payroll with their enrolled dependants to access medical attention as well as reaching a doctor with ease.
She said the new Walimucare App has been launched to assist teachers not only in accessing medical attention but also to help teachers access Covid-19 tips,talk to a doctor as well as emergency health complications.
This she said,is part of the Commission’s efforts to improve teachers working conditions better,health being one of them.
Teachers are therefore advised to download the Walimucare app from play store or google store,whichever is applicable in one’s phone.
