The Aga Khan University Hospital is concerned about continued delays in payments from the defunct National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), warning that outstanding claims totalling Sh1.5 billion could soon jeopardise its critical services, including medical training and research.
Rashid Khalani, the hospital’s chief executive officer (CEO), said these unpaid bills - which have been accumulating since 2018 at its facilities in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu - have disrupted financial planning and hampered investment in technology and infrastructure.
