Personal Accident insurance Covers
Personal Accident (PA) Insurance is a policy to cover individuals and groups from physical injuries and financial loss.
It covers among other things death, Temporary Total Disablement, Permanent Disability, accidental medical expenses, hospital cash, funeral expenses, artificial appliances.
For many institutions, it’s mandatory for one to take personal accident insurance cover before being accepted for attachments or internships.
Many find it so difficult to get insurance companies that offer students personal accident covers in Kenya.
