have heard various complaints on this scheme.you go to hospital they send you to a clinic called bliss at GPO.you find young chaps who seems not to know what they are doing. then the wait for drugs takes weeks if not months. I see mention of clinix somewhere and then I see a scandal

The privatization carnage continues. Many have now learned they can start a clinic/hospital---some (many?) with the intent of scamming clients and or/collecting NHIF and other insurance funds. Insurance companies are already complaining that claims are too high due to billing fraud.

Without consumer protection laws, we will have no recourse and we will pay more for an an even lower quality of care than we have now. Trying to correct this after the fact will be like herding cats.

There's no consumer protection in Kenya. If you knew the things Chinese dump in Kenya other than what you already know you'd be disgusted. Sadly, the fake items dumped in Kenya are imported by Kenyans in the name of business, from fake manufactured food stuff to fake batteries etc. The Kenyan consumer is an exploited idiot and our governments have never shown concern.

I think you are using very strong terms, I don't think we are idiots as consumers, con artists exist everywhere in the world not just kenya. Also remmber not everyone earns 200k plus as you do, and as such at times hakuna option, but to go for what you call fake.
Remember there are con artists, and people have different incomes.

as for the nhif, and the civil servants medical schemes, they should have stuck to public hospitals, otherwise clinics now have nhif departments, those forms are being filled in proper.

Mlifikiria madaktari were on strike for nothing. Sasa ndio tutajuta sisi wote. Nilisema NHIF scheme is a scam. No excuse to put public money into private pockets when there are public hospitals that can do the same job. As we speak hospitals are over quoting for procedures and middlemen are pocketing their cut.

I want to vouch for nhif and say that maybe what we need is to streamline the procedures and seal loopholes.

My grandma has Cancer of the Oesophagus that was diagnosed in early 2016.We had a stent fitted and the total cost were about 150k.This year the problem resurfaced and we had to have a second stent and guess what all the costs were borne by nhif.At a mission hospital.

I enrolled my house help last year and when she fell ill this year she was treated using the card in a private health facility.I think that the private facilities supplement the public facilities.

Lets work on streamlining the system and ensure as many as possible enroll. The over quoting could be due to the delay it takes to process the payments causing facilities to borrow to sustain their operations.

Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

A medical scheme that directs you to a certain clinic is a con game, but again, i dont trust sub standard
