NHIF vs private medical cover: What comes first?

By OTIATO GUGUYU
Summary
President Uhuru Kenyatta is making another attempt to give all Kenyans health cover by 2022 under the UHC but the question of bears the burden remains.
The plan involves requiring every home to pay Sh500 a month to be members of the NHIF while it offers to pay the Sh6,000 annual premiums for one million poor families.
This will allow the government to offer a basic package for outpatient and inpatient services covering maternity, dialysis, cancer, surgery among others.
Nearly two decades ago, President Mwai Kibaki rejected a Bill by then Health minister Charity Ngiu that proposed a Universal Health Coverage (UHC) that would have seen taxpayers foot an Sh11 billion medical bill yearly.
