Former employees of the defunct National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), including those appointed to senior positions in the new health scheme Social Health Authority (SHA), will learn their fate within three months.

Within this period, over 1,700 employees will find out whether they will be absorbed by SHA or redeployed by the Public Service Commission (PSC).
