GOVERNMENT WANTS PUBLIC FEEDBACK ON THE HEALTHCARE FUND DRAFT, Social Health Insurance Fund, National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), NDIZITV, NDIZITVNEWS
Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha invited interested parties to provide written feedback on the draft regulations to the health ministry through a notice to the public.
In order to facilitate the establishment of the Social Health Insurance Fund, the Ministry of Health has extended an invitation for public feedback on the Social Health Insurance Act.
The Social Health Insurance Fund's implementation was barred by an order that the court of appeals lifted on Friday, opening the door for public engagement.
A panel of three judges ordered the suspension of several provisions until the State's appeal was heard and decided.
This contains Section 26(5), which stipulates that in order to interact with or use public services provided by the federal, state, local, or their affiliates, registration and payment are required.
In order to get the Appellate Court to step in and overturn the High Court's rulings halting the SHIF's implementation, the government filed a petition.
According to the Social Health Insurance Act, any non-Kenyan citizen living in the nation is qualified to apply to become a member of the Fund.
This is applicable to non-Kenyan citizens who regularly stay in Kenya for longer than a year.
A non-Kenyan who plans to enter and stay in the nation for less than a year must, nevertheless, obtain travel health insurance.
All of the cash balances are anticipated to be transferred to the Social Health Insurance Fund from the now-defunct National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF).
