Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The government is seeking to repeal the National Health Insurance Fund to introduce three models of funding.<\/p>\n

In a dispatch released on Tuesday, the Cabinet said the move will accelerate Kenya\u2019s attainment of Universal Health Coverage (UHC).<\/p>\n

This is in line with the Kenya Kwanza government’s plan under the Bottom Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).<\/p>\n

They also approved four health Bills including the Primary Health Care Bill, of 2023, the Digital Health Bill, of 2023, the Facility Improvement Financing Bill, of 2023 and the Social Health Insurance Bill, of 2023.<\/p>\n

“These Bills will usher in a paradigm in the legal and institutional framework for healthcare in Kenya by repealing the current NationalHealth Insurance Fund and establishing in its place the three new funding,” the dispatch read.<\/p>\n

Primary Healthcare Fund, Social Health Insurance Fund and Emergency, Chronic and Critical Illness Fund are set to replace NHIF.<\/p>\n

This was agreed upon in a Cabinet meeting held at the Kakamega State Lodge chaired by President William Ruto.<\/p>\n
