This scheme targets to enroll secondary school students for medical cover in hospitals close to their institutions. The story will be quite different for students in the arid and semi-arid areas, where hospitals are a rarity. Any parent who has had a child in secondary school will attest to the fact that sick students are merely given pain killers. Most, if not all secondary school students, finish form four when they are 18 years. Unchecked fraud demonstrates that NHIF has no capacity to safeguard members’ funds.
