This comes as the crisis triggered by the introduction of the Social Health Authority (SHA) system continues in hospitals across the country. "The NHIF system is much easier to use because the claims system that SHA has is a bit complex and the system keeps failing," a hospital administrator in Kiambu told the Nation. “We had earlier reported a total of 1,577 health facilities contracted, however, this was an error due to duplication of names of some facilities. The list of all contracted health facilities is available on our official website,” he clarified. The Union of Kenya Civil Servants has called on the government to include comprehensive medical coverage in the SHIF.
