Global mobility platform inDrive has expanded its Platinum Driver Programme in Nigeria through a partnership with healthtech firm Heala, enabling top-performing drivers to access affordable telemedicine services directly via the inDrive app.
Launched in 2025, the Platinum Driver Programme recognises drivers who maintain excellent service standards, collectively delivering over 70 per cent of inDrive’s service quality. To date, more than 3,000 drivers have benefited from rewards valued at over N1.2 billion, a move aimed at enhancing a sustainable driver ecosystem.
Under the new healthcare initiative, eligible Platinum drivers can now subscribe to digital health plans starting at N1,300 per month, allowing them to consult licensed doctors remotely via video, voice, or chat, receive prescriptions, and access medications and diagnostic services without leaving their routes. The plans can also extend to spouses and children, providing essential healthcare support for families.
“Driver welfare remains a core pillar of our operations. Expanding the Platinum Driver Programme through our partnership with Heala allows us to go further by supporting the health and wellbeing of these drivers and their families,” said Oladimeji Timothy, country representative for inDrive Nigeria.
Anderson Oriahi, CEO of Heala, added: “Drivers play an essential role in keeping cities moving. Through this collaboration, we are ensuring they can access quality healthcare quickly and conveniently, wherever they are.”
The move reflects a unique trend in the mobility sector to integrate non-monetary benefits into driver programmes, recognising that health, wellbeing, and family support are key to sustaining high-quality services and fostering long-term loyalty.
With long working hours and limited access to traditional employee benefits, ride-hailing drivers in Nigeria are among the groups most in need of flexible healthcare solutions. By combining digital health services with its reward programme, inDrive positions itself as a leader in redefining driver welfare within Africa’s fast-growing urban mobility market.
