The National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) is incurring huge losses after almost half of the registered members failed to remit their monthly contributions to the kitty.
NHIF Chairman Lewis Nguyai said the dormant accounts drain the scheme, noting that for every shilling received by a member, the insurer pays Sh2 per claim.
“People should know that having an NHIF card will come in handy someday. It’s just Sh500 per month and Sh17 per day and the benefits are massive,” he said.

Employees will wait longer to enjoy a 15 percent relief on their National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) contributions.
The contributors will get the relief from next January as part of changes to various taxation laws that took effect on July 1 through the enactment of the Finance Act 2021.
Individuals pay a maximum of Sh1,700 per month in NHIF contributions, meaning that they will get a relief of up to Sh255, a move seen as an incentive to woo more Kenyans to join the State-backed scheme.
