The National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) has published regulations that will allow men to get medical cover for multiple wives, if Parliament approves the proposed law, marking a departure from medical insurance norms.

The regulations have a clause providing medical coverage to polygamous families on condition the male member pays an extra Sh500 for the additional wives.
