The Ministry of Health will re-categorise all hospitals before they are empanelled by the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) in a bid to eliminate fraud that has seen taxpayers lose millions of shillings through fictitious claims against the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF).
Health Cabinet secretary Susan Nakhumicha said the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentist Council (KMPDC) will be the only body to inspect and categorise all levels of hospitals before they are contracted by SHIF.
