20 Counties Fail To Sign Contracts With NHIF

At least 20 counties have not signed contracts with the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) leaving thousands of government workers out of the medical insurance program.

While standing before the Senate Health Committee, on Wednesday, December 9, the NHIF Health CAS Mercy Mwangangi issued a list of 20 counties that have not yet signed the agreement that also covers the cost of treatment of Covid-19 for civil servants.

The counties include; Nairobi, Meru, Nyeri, Narok, Migori, Siaya, Vihiga, Mandera, Turkana, Homa Bay, Busia, Laikipia,  Nandi, Trans Nzoia, Samburu, West Pokot, Kwale, Kilifi, Tana River and Uasin Gishu.

Board of Governors Chairman Wycliffe Oparanya, however, defended several counties claiming that they have private medical insurance coverage, adding that Busia, Mandera and Laikipia Counties had signed medical insurance agreements with CIC insurance, Britam and Kenya Alliance respectively.
