Doctors and private hospitals have dismissed the government's claim that Sh20 billion was lost through fraudulent medical insurance payments.

They claim that last week's report by Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha was meant to tarnish the name of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) ahead of the transition to the Social Health Authority (SHA).

Rural Private Hospitals Association of Kenya (RUPHA) also says the claim was aimed at doing away with money owed to hospitals.
