Kenyan Launches Petition Seeking to Disband SHA & Restore NHIF
Trouble is brewing for Social Health Authority (SHA) as a petition seeking to disband the new health scheme takes shape.
Hannah Nderitu started a petition on Change.org on Sunday aiming to collect signatures for a petition seeking to disband the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) and restore the defunct National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF).
The petition proposed that restoring NHIF and rectifying its shortcomings is the country’s best bet to secure a health system that will alleviate problems caused by the new scheme.
The lobby group, as a result, called on Kenyans to volunteer their signatures in order to help win the petition.
