NHIF contributions to be changed- President Ruto announces

PRESIDENT WILLIAM RUTO-WE WILL REVIEW NHIF TO CATER FOR MORE KENYANS

The contribution structure of the National Hospital Insurance Fund, NHIF, will be reviewed to ease medical burden on Kenyans.

President William Ruto said the new model will pay a focus on households rather than individuals.

He said his administration was keen on ensuring all Kenyans have access to affordable and quality medical care.

“Health lies at the core of our development. We must revitalise primary healthcare, putting more attention on preventive and promotive strategies.” Said President Ruto.

The Head of State was addressing the country on Thursday during the Mashujaa Day celebrations in Uhuru Gardens, Nairobi County.

He explained that the national Govt will partner with counties to mainstream community health workers and make them the foundation of the country’s healthcare.
