What role does NHIF play in the attainment of Universal Health Coverage? -The National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) is a critical vehicle that the government is using under the Ministry of Health to scale up Universal Health Coverage. For close to six decades, NHIF has been working to ensure Universal Health Coverage for all by providing affordable, accessible, sustainable, and quality health insurance through strategic resource pooling and healthcare purchasing in collaboration with stakeholders.
Thus, NHIF works to secure financial risk protection against the cost of health care services for all Kenyan residents while ensuring Kenyans are not exposed to financial hardships due to catastrophic medical expenditures. Let us realize UHC by leaving no one behind.
