RHEAL was the winner of the Medical Insurance Provider of the Year award and the runner up for the Training award in 2012.

Our congratulations go out to CEO, Peter Nduati and its team. RHEAL's 93% customer retention rate is a testament to the dedication to customer satisfaction, product development and service delivery.

RHEAL intends to expand to other parts of East Africa in the near future. Over the last few years, RHEAL's premium growth has been in excess of 40% annually, exceeding the higher-than-average growth rate for the industry of approximately 25% annually.
