MOMBASA, KENYA: The National Hospital Insurance Fund branch in Mombasa has sparked outrage and anxiety among civil servants and hospitals in Mombasa and Malindi after 'altering' its health insurance cover contracts signed in 2012.
The local branch of the NHIF is accused of targeting civil servants between job groups A and L disqualifying them from capitation of managed and national insurance schemes. These lower cadre workers are now required to sign new contracts.
