For many ride-hailing driver-partners, every day on the road is about more than completing trips, it’s about providing for the families who depend on them. Yet with the rising cost of healthcare in Nigeria, a single medical emergency can place significant financial strain on a household, making access to affordable health insurance increasingly important.
Bolt says that while conversations around supporting driver-partners often focus on earnings, driver wellbeing deserves equal attention. Access to affordable healthcare not only protects drivers but also provides peace of mind for the families who rely on them.
Earlier this year, Bolt partnered with Bastion Health to introduce discounted health insurance plans for its driver-partners across Nigeria. The programme enables drivers to access affordable healthcare while extending coverage to their immediate family members, helping to reduce the financial burden that unexpected medical expenses can create.
According to Teddy Appa-Dankyi, Senior General Manager, Bolt West Africa, supporting drivers should go beyond helping them earn an income.
