$50,000 mandatory health insurance suspended in African country, Tunisians also affected

Kenya’s Marsabit High Court has temporarily suspended the implementation and enforcement of a mandatory travel health insurance requirement for foreign visitors staying in the country for fewer than 12 months.

The policy calls for a minimum coverage of $50,000. Because it applies to foreign nationals without distinction by nationality, Tunisian travelers are also affected.

The suspension puts the measure on hold while the court considers the requirement. The original report identifies the ruling as provisional and does not provide further details about its duration or legal basis.
