Private hospitals received more than half of payments disbursed from the Social Health Insurance Fund (Shif) in March 2025, signalling attempts by the State to mend fences with this category of healthcare providers after months of funding feuds.

Bank statements reviewed by the Business Daily show that a total of Sh4.57 billion was disbursed for 5,123 claims, which included faith-based, government, and private hospitals.
