What Kenyans want changed for NHIF to be better

Kenyans have opined that allowing patients to attend any hospital when in need of healthcare would make the National Health Insurance (NHIF) better.

A report released by Twaweza East Africa on Thursday showed that 49 per cent of Kenyans are of the view that NHIF members should be able to attend any hospital.

According to the survey, 15 per cent suggest that the speed of approvals be improved while 14 per cent want bed charges covered by NHIF revised.

Eleven per cent want the NHIF to be affordable while eight per cent want a reduction in downtime indices of NHIF system.

The data was collected from 3,603 respondents between January 23 and February 7, 2024.
