Enrolling Kenyans From NHIF To SHIF Without Consent Is Legal – MoH
Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) without their consent is legal.
As SHIF’s rolling out kicked off on Tuesday, October 1, members of the
National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) – the public health insurance scheme
SHIF replaced – have been getting SMS messages that they have been
automatically registered for the controversial new plan.
In a statement on Thursday, Health Principal Secretary Harry Kimtai said:
“The Ministry has received inquiries regarding the transition of existing
NHIF members to SHA. We wish to clarify that the laws as per legal notice
147 of 2024 provided for the transition of all registered and verifiable
NHIF members into SHA.”
