The cost of managing chronic diseases such as diabetes and kidney failure is expected to come down significantly following a decision by the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) to more than double the amount of money the fund can pay for treatment.
A notice published in the Kenya Gazette also shows that the NHIF has increased medical cover for inpatient services in both public and private hospitals in a move that effectively lowers the cost of accessing medical care for thousands of contributors.
