Experts Urge Redesign of Kenya's Shif Health Fund for UHC Success
The Social Health Insurance Fund (Shif), Kenya's ambitious step towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC), has faced criticism since its launch. Experts deem its funding model flawed, risky, and unsustainable, urging an immediate redesign.
Shif's implementation has been troubled, with numerous issues plaguing the system. Experts agree that the current funding model needs a complete overhaul without delay.
A major concern is the requirement for everyone to register and visit hospitals, which is considered unnecessary and burdensome. The fund's reliance on a small pool of contributors for financing has also been flagged as problematic.
The Social Health Insurance Fund's future hangs in the balance. Experts' calls for a swift redesign of its funding model must be heeded to ensure Kenya's united journey towards Universal Health Coverage.
