HEALTH CECM EMPHASIZES IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL HEALTH INSURANCE SCHEME
The County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Health and Sanitation Ruth Koech has tasked the health care workers to lead the advocacy on the importance of the social health insurance scheme in Nandi for citizens to be able to have access to good healthcare.
The CECM stated this today during a visit to the Kapsabet County Referral and Nandi Hills Couty Hospitals, stressing that the move would ensure citizens have access to quality healthcare services and promote a healthier population through increased insurance coverage.
She said there is a need to find a way to explain to our people that a social health insurance fund scheme is important“All health services which were being offered through NHIF are now offered under SHA and I want to urge all residents to register themselves so as to continue accessing the services,” she noted. 
The registration is done through self-registration USSD code *147# and through the website http://sha.go.ke and with the assistance of Community Health Promoters or by visiting NHIF offices and other designated registration points.
