The government has added fertility treatment to the public teacher medical scheme as the Social Health Authority expanded health coverage to 30.8 million Kenyans, Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura has said.
Speaking during a press conference in Nairobi, Mwaura said reforms under the Social Health Authority (SHA) had widened access beyond the defunct National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF), which covered fewer than eight million people, with teachers now accessing In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) at Nairobi West Hospital under the SHA Mwalimu Comprehensive Cover.
