Another component of the Free COVID-19 Benefit is a hospitalization benefit that provides the customer with a lump sum of GH¢500 to support their medical bills when hospitalized due to COVID-19 diagnoses.
A statement from the company signed by CEO Francis Gota said “This cover is extended to the family member registered under ‘Recharge with Care’ Life cover as well,” adding that subscribers can get up to GH¢3,000 life insurance cover for one family member to cater for funeral expenses without any stress or hassle.
The Free COVID-19 Benefit comes as an additional package to customers on aYo ‘Recharge with Care’ service, which offers life and hospital insurance cover every time you recharge your airtime.
