15 Mar 2023 Asked by John Waluke Koyi Cabinet Secretary for Health Oral Pending

Question

Considering that claims made to the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) for renal dialysis are in excess of Ksh8 billion annually, could the Cabinet Secretary urgently consider reviewing the NHIF cover to include funding for kidney transplants and purchase of anti-rejection drugs, which enable patients suffering from acute kidney failures to return to living normal lives as well as cutting down on the huge claims for dialysis?
