SEKEM Extends Health Insurance Coverage to Farmers Through Nice Deer Platform

lawza’usama – In a landmark move that reflects bot vision and responsibility, SEKEM has announced the extension of health insurance coverage to 40,000 farmers across its community

This step not only safeguards the wellbeing of thousands of individuals who form the backbone of Egypt’s agricultural sector, but also reinforces SEKEM’s commitment to advancing its mission through meaningful impact across its three foundational pillars:

economic, social, and cultural development.
This ambitious initiative is being carried out through Ecohealth in Cooperation with EBDA (Egyptian Biodynamic Assoziation),

SEKEM’s dedicated health arm, and digitally enabled by the Nice Deer Platform, Egypt’s leading InsurTech solution. By relying on

Nice Deer, SEKEM is able to manage large-scale health coverage with unprecedented speed, intelligence, and transparency.

The platform ensures that farmers gain access to medical care without delay, that

processes flow seamlessly without the burden of paperwork, and that healthcare management becomes more efficient, connected, and future-ready.

This collaboration is not only a milestone for SEKEM’s community but also a testament to how advanced digital platforms can reshape the future of healthcare delivery in Egypt.

With its AI-powered infrastructure, nationwide provider network of more than

8,500 pharmacies, clinics, labs, and hospitals, and capabilities spanning automation, medical approvals, fraud detection, and predictive analytics, the Nice

Deer Platform enables organizations like SEKEM to turn complex administrative

challenges into seamless, technology-driven experiences that scale with their vision.
