Wewe kwenda huko....there's nothing like teething problems when people's lives are on the line. This is a government of chaos.
SHIF is not working. I have made all payments in cash. You will see some illiterate bloggers shouting here with useless hashtags
. It is not working, remember when I talked about it here kwanza they don't want to hear anything about shif, paid cash too
But it’s a Looting scheme how do you expect it to work! It’s a scheme for them to loot from Kenyans even the sick! Can you imagine
. My prayer is to never experience anything in my life that will land me in a hospital. People are really suffering
“SHA ICT system was piloted in Marsabit dry run revealed that the new system was not ready and challenges are being addressed and a second repeat dry run that encompasses proxy mean testing may be done thereafter,” the committee said in the report following a meeting last Friday.
“The ICT experts have been requested to report for SHA alternatives on the ICT system especially on the registration and contribution domain. There is a need for an alternative solution even including recalling the SHA regulations and use of NHIF systems and the latter has financial implications. The nature of the contract with the current NHIF system licences and contracts need to be renewed.”
The committee chaired by Dr Jason Kap-Kirwok was inaugurated on January 30, 2024, by Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha.
Even before resolving the mean testing shenanigans under the university funding model which is killing university education, the same is tied to SHIF.
20 m wapi? Illiterate chiefs are unable to use the registration gadgets which have no network. Ecitizen login is now like opening a bank account in the 90s.

She shi-sha scam..
My own daughter was unwell today...
Went to a level 3 government hospital...
***
They can't do a normal hemogram test - atî they don't have reagents- so, they had to go to a private laboratory for the test and pay 800 bob.
After they took back results to the government hospital, they claimed to suspect "H. Pylori" but gave her Panadol, multivitamin and Omeprazole - the rest of the "IMPORTANT" drugs not available - GO BUY...
Honestly, imagining the AMOUNT I'm paying for this scam for these useless services , I click and cürse- it's very painful. I'm actually feeling very emotional.
Dennis Itumbi do you want evidence to prove to your boss this shi-sha is a scam?
Last week, I also had to pay cash for my wife's clinic - it was the first time I was paying for her clinic she has attended for half a decade- because, how do you ask someone doing routine clinics at level 5/6 to go back and start afresh at level 2 - not unless you take their pain or ailment as a joke - how heartless!?
Dennis, why does your president take our pain so lightly? Dennis, I'm talking about my family... And I'm feeling very emotional because it's very tough. Why are you people so heartless?
Has Satan contracted you to make our lives so miserable?
I know a retired civil servant, who has been attending her check up every week at Nakuru level five, for the last 15yrs, imagine a 87yrs old man with HBP and diabetes not getting services told to go to a village dispensary with machine can test Diabetes or BP level.....
My Dad went for treatment/checkup in Nakuru PGH,mind you he has been treated there for more than a decade....Akaambiwa they are not accepting Shi ama Ni SHA he either go to a level 3 ama aende dispensary...like seriously!!! He has had diabetes for many years and NHIF catered for his treatment n medicine Leo imebidi niokolee nitume pesa... disappointment!!

Those who have registered and utilized it can attest to the arrival of a new era in Kenyan health care. Digitization and patient healthcare records are driving sham clinics and many cartels that were making money through NHIF. Health centers don't have to do repeat procedures like blood work, especially if they are current. Whether you get sick anywhere in the country, clinics can pull your records and continue treating you based on data on file. Though under 20% of Kenyans have registered, when it hits 70%+ universal health care coverage will change Kenya for good. Kibaki and Uhuru failed, but Ruto has managed to get it done. Give it another 12-18 months, and Kenyans will be thrilled with Taifa Care. Yesterday, a bill of 348,000 shillings from family memeber at MTRH was paid without any questions asked. No fundraising and hoping for no pain for many Kenyans who are registered and compliant in their meager dues. Very proud of Dr. Ruto's leadership on universal healthcare coverage. He is sticking to important things like healthcare that mean a lot to millions of Kenyans; no wonder faceless cartels are fighting him without bringing evidence to the courts or public. NHIF cartels and massive corruption in healthcare that had pillaged Kenya have been cut to size!
Absolute. Ruto should take charge of this and Maize. Fix health care and cost of living. Then throwin in infrastracture. Kelele kelele ya nini.

"Previously, the preauthorisation process was seamless," Dr Lishenga explained.
"But it seems there was a flaw in the system when it was launched two months ago. Almost every procedure was being automatically approved. This led to a sharp surge in surgical bills, which have ballooned to nearly Sh5 billion in unpaid claims within less than a month. Concerns arose that this trend was financially unsustainable, prompting the adjustments."
According to insiders, Savannah Informatics was chosen because of its industry experience and ability to expand and deploy its system quickly. However, the arrangement is far from ideal.https://nation.africa/kenya/health/sha-in-sh1-billion-secret-deal-after-system-failure--4853132
“Safaricom is essentially developing the system as we use it. It’s like building a house while living in it. Anything can happen. This is why claims are delayed, causing issues like the pre-authorisation backlog for surgical claims,” Dr Lishenga explained.
According to an insider at Savannah Informatics, as the fourth contracted firm, they are set to be paid Sh1 billion. This is the agreement with Safaricom, the consortium leader. What is not clear from the agreement is whether the amount is on top of the Sh104 billion tender the consortium secured to set up the SHA system.
All insurance worldwide has major problems; that is why delay and deny are two common things. Until all people are where the majority of healthy people comprise more than 50-60% of the insurance pool, the system will have to be continually adjusted.

Understanding the Difference Between NHIF and Social Health ...
SHA (Social Health Authority) is designed to be better than NHIF (National Hospital Insurance Fund) by providing more comprehensive and universal healthcare coverage in Kenya. SHA aims to ensure that all Kenyans, regardless of income, can access primary healthcare services. While SHA builds on the foundation laid by NHIF, it seeks to address the limitations of the previous system by offering broader benefits and more inclusive access.
Here's a more detailed comparison:
SHA's Advantages over NHIF:
Universal Coverage:
SHA aims to provide healthcare access to all Kenyans, unlike NHIF which primarily served salaried and self-employed individuals.
Broader Benefits:
SHA is designed to offer a wider range of services, including those previously not covered by NHIF, potentially including more chronic disease management and specialized treatments.
Digital Integration:
SHA emphasizes digital systems for preauthorization and claims processing, potentially reducing fraud and improving efficiency.
Equity and Accessibility:
SHA aims to make healthcare more equitable and accessible to all Kenyans, regardless of their income or employment status.
Primary Care Access:
Unlike NHIF, SHA allows access to primary healthcare simply by registration.
Challenges and Concerns:
Implementation Issues:
There have been reports of glitches in the digital system and delayed payments, potentially hindering the smooth transition.
Public Trust:
Some perceive SHA as simply NHIF with a new name, and public confidence is still shaky.
Financial Sustainability:
Ensuring SHA's financial viability, particularly with universal coverage, will be crucial.
Private Sector Participation:
Concerns exist about private hospitals and pharmacies potentially refusing SHA patients due to payment issues.
SHA Registration in Kenya: What to Expect from SHIF - The ...
In essence, SHA is intended to be a more inclusive and comprehensive healthcare financing system in Kenya, building upon the strengths of NHIF while addressing its limitations.
“They are hit twice. The scheme has not paid SHA; therefore, hospitals have not been paid. Hospitals have been treating civil servants for free, and still, we are being called criminals,” Dr Lishenga said.
Under NHIF, the annual bill from hospitals used to be between Sh3.5 billion and Sh4 billion.
“The hospitals are owed that amount in under nine months,” Dr Lishenga said. “Healthcare has to be funded; if the system fails, then the provider has to revert to individual payments. This is the only way.”
Under the NHIF system, hospitals had invested heavily in biometric infrastructure and purchased biometric readers as part of a nationwide push to collect biometric data. The infrastructure worked effectively for patient verification until the government discovered systematic abuse.
The government claimed that unscrupulous healthcare providers had exploited the system by misusing patients' fingerprints to process fraudulent claims for thousands of fictitious beneficiaries. This malpractice contributed to significant resource leakage and undermined the system's integrity, justifying the government's decision to eliminate what they saw as a compromised verification method.
In its place, SHA introduced OTP verification, believing this would provide better security and eliminate the fraud that had cost the system billions of shillings.
However, the OTP system quickly revealed fundamental flaws that made it unsuitable for healthcare delivery. Patients reported delays in receiving OTPs due to technical glitches and network issues, which disrupted the timely delivery of healthcare services. The problems were particularly acute in emergency departments, where time-sensitive care became hostage to technological failures.
