Patient Navigation &
Care Coordination

One guide. One plan. Less running around. You have enough to think about - let us hold the threads.
Who is this for?
Anyone who feels overwhelmed by the healthcare system. You don't need a formal diagnosis or to be in crisis. If it feels heavy, we can help.
A cancer diagnosis. A child with recurring asthma. An aging parent who needs multiple specialists. Suddenly you're juggling appointments, lab results, pharmacy pick-ups, and conflicting instructions.

Dira Care assigns you a dedicated navigator. They don’t replace your doctor – they make sure you understand your doctor. They track your referrals, follow up on pending tests, and communicate with providers so you don’t have to repeat your story five times.

Diagnosis-to-treatment coordination

The same navigator answers your calls and knows your full history — you never have to re-explain.
Multi-provider communication
We liaise between labs, specialists, GPs, and pharmacies on your behalf, keeping information flowing correctly.
Post-discharge follow-up
Discharge doesn’t mean “goodbye.” We check in after you leave hospital to ensure recovery stays on track.

I had no idea my SHIF covered specialist visits. Dira Care walked me through it and saved me KES 18,000 in out-of-pocket costs.

SHA & SHIF specialists.
Kenya’s evolving health financing landscape is complex. Our navigators stay up to date so you don’t have to – from registration to claims.

We sit with you, explain your benefits, help with registration, and assist with pre-authorisation paperwork, because SHA, SHIF, private cover, each has its own forms, deadlines, and language. 

If you are facing financial barriers to treatment, we guide you to available support options. No hidden fees. No confusing jargon.

SHA / SHIF registration assistance
Step-by-step help completing registration forms and understanding membership requirements.
Benefits explanation & interpretation
We decode what your policy actually covers — inpatient, outpatient, maternity, chronic care — in plain language.
Pre-authorisation support
We compile the documentation insurers require and follow up to ensure timely approvals.
Financial counselling linkage
We connect you to hospital social workers, hardship funds, and NGO support for those facing cost barriers.

Appointment &
Follow-Up Management

Never miss what matters. Life gets busy. Memories blur. We make sure every appointment happens — and every next step is clear.
Missed appointments cost more than time – they cost health outcomes. Our appointment management service uses friendly, respectful reminders via SMS or WhatsApp to keep patients on track. If an appointment is missed, we recover it. After discharge, we call to confirm recovery and remind you of next steps.
WhatsApp & SMS reminders
Friendly reminders sent 3 days before, 1 day before, and morning-of every appointment.
Missed-appointment recovery
We call the patient, understand the barrier, and reschedule — within 24 hours of a missed visit.
Scheduling assistance
We handle the booking process: calling facilities, confirming slots, and sending patients confirmation details.
Post-discharge follow-up
We call 48 hours after discharge to check recovery, confirm next steps, and flag any concerns.

Health Education
& Advocacy

Clear information is a right, not a privilege. We translate medicine into language that makes sense - and help you speak up for yourself.
My father only speaks Dholuo. Every hospital visit left him confused and scared. His navigator now explains everything in his language. He actually understands his diabetes now.

Common Questions

Everything you
want to know

No question is too small. Here are the ones we hear most often - and honest answers to all of them.

No referral needed. You can reach out directly - by call, WhatsApp, or this form. You don't need to have a formal diagnosis, and you don't need to be in crisis. If navigating the health system feels heavy, that's enough reason to talk to us.

Some navigators are nurses or social workers. All are trained in non-clinical navigation - meaning they understand the healthcare system and how to coordinate within it, but they never give medical advice, diagnose, or prescribe. Our role is to support, coordinate, and advocate - not replace clinical care.

We match you to a navigator within 24 hours of your first contact. For urgent situations - a family member just admitted to hospital, a same-day appointment - WhatsApp us directly and we will prioritise your case.

Yes. Dira Care operates under the Kenya Data Protection Act. Your personal and health information is never shared with third parties without your consent. All navigators sign confidentiality agreements, and our systems are secured accordingly.

Absolutely - this is one of our most-used services. We accompany your relative to appointments, explain their care in their language, and send you a full update after every visit. You remain fully informed and in control, no matter where in the world you are.
