Kenyans are mandated to contribute 2.75 percent of their gross salary to the social health insurance fund, as per the new social health authority.
Additionally, all Kenyans must be members of the social health insurance fund in order to receive medical treatment, in accordance with the latest regulations.
This new regulation aims to ensure that all Kenyans have access to affordable and quality healthcare services. The social health insurance fund will provide coverage for a wide range of medical services, including hospitalization, outpatient care, and prescription drugs.
By requiring all citizens to contribute to the fund, the government hopes to create a sustainable and inclusive healthcare system that can effectively meet the needs of the population.
The implementation of this mandatory contribution is part of the government’s efforts to achieve universal health coverage and reduce the financial burden of healthcare on individuals and families.
It is also intended to improve the overall health outcomes of the population by ensuring that everyone has access to necessary medical care without facing financial hardship.
The social health authority will be responsible for overseeing the administration and management of the social health insurance fund, as well as ensuring that the contributions are used efficiently and effectively to provide healthcare services to all members.
This new system represents a significant step towards achieving a more equitable and accessible healthcare system in Kenya.
