The Social Health Authority (SHA) has paid Ksh299.57 million to 197 faith-based healthcare facilities as part of clearing pending claims from the defunct National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). This latest batch, Batch 2 of 4, covers verified NHIF claims of Ksh10 million and below. Notable beneficiaries include major mission hospitals such as AIC Githumu Hospital, Maseno Hospital, and Kakuma Mission Hospital.
The payout comes against a larger debt of billions of Kenyan shillings owed by faith-based healthcare providers. The Kenya Faith-Based Health Services Consortium (KFBHSC) has previously reported that these providers are seeking payment for billions in outstanding NHIF claims. The government's programme, backed by Ksh4 billion, aims to settle verified claims of Ksh10 million and below for 3,527 healthcare facilities nationwide.
