At least Sh20 billion has been lost in fake claims through the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), according to Health CS Susan Nakhumicha.

The minister blew the lid in a statement Friday when she revealed that some of the fraudulent claims have been made over fake surgeries, among other fraudulent activities, by hospitals.

She said the fraudulent claims have been reported in nearly half (40 per cent) of NHIF-accredited hospitals which received capitation from the public medical insurance agency in 2023.
