inDrive provides healthcare coverage for 500 Nigerian drivers, families through Heala partnership
inDrive, a global mobility and urban services platform, has partnered with digital healthcare provider Heala to provide healthcare coverage for 500 drivers and their families in Nigeria.
The company said the initiative is aimed at improving drivers’ welfare by expanding access to healthcare through technology while reducing the time and inconvenience associated with seeking medical care.
Under the partnership, drivers and their families will be able to access medical support through Heala’s platform without first visiting a hospital, enabling them to receive healthcare services more conveniently while continuing their daily activities.
The company said the inclusion of family coverage is intended to give drivers greater peace of mind by ensuring their loved ones also have access to medical care.
Timothy Oladimeji, country manager of inDrive Nigeria, said the initiative aligns with the company’s mission of addressing everyday challenges faced by drivers.
He said reducing barriers to healthcare would help drivers remain healthy, productive and better able to support their families.
“At inDrive, our drivers are at the heart of everything we do. We recognise that long hours on the road can make it difficult to prioritise personal health, yet their wellbeing is essential to their livelihoods and the communities they serve,” Oladimeji said.
“Through our partnership with Heala, we are providing access to healthcare for 500 drivers and their families, giving them greater peace of mind and ensuring they can access medical support when they need it.
“This initiative reflects our commitment to building a fairer and more supportive mobility ecosystem where drivers are empowered not only economically but also through initiatives that improve their quality of life.”
Anderson Oriahi, chief executive officer and co-founder of Heala, said the partnership would bring healthcare closer to commercial drivers who often work long hours and have limited time to access conventional healthcare services.
“Through our partnership with inDrive, we are bringing healthcare closer to the people who keep cities moving every day. Drivers often work long hours and rarely have the time to navigate traditional healthcare systems,” Oriahi said.
He added that the collaboration would make healthcare more accessible to beneficiaries, helping them remain healthy, productive and better equipped to meet the demands of their work.
According to the companies, the initiative reflects a broader effort to improve driver welfare and demonstrates how private sector partnerships can expand access to essential services while supporting the wellbeing of workers and their families.
