Health CS Susan Nakhumicha has acknowledged a significant financial fraud within the National Health Insurance Fund, with private hospitals allegedly submitting counterfeit claims, leading to the embezzlement of billions of shillings.
Nakhumicha said: "The claim records received by the Ministry from private hospitals unmistakably reveal extensive fraud, perpetrated through the issuance of fabricated patient records."
She expressed concern, noting, "We have encountered substantial fraudulent activities where private hospitals have illegitimately obtained funds from NHIF, presenting fictitious claims without genuine medical justifications."
