Expectant women are set to get free National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) cover for their maternity expenses as well as their family members’ medical costs.

Under the “Linda Mama, Boresha Jamii programme,” all pregnant women who register for the NHIF cover will access antenatal, delivery, postnatal care and one-year child care in all NHI- accredited facilities.
