The new Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF)programme is part of the government's plan to realise the Universal Health Coverage which is one of the key programmes in the Kenya Kwanza manifesto.
President William Ruto recently disclosed that the ongoing registration of Kenyans into SHIF is almost hitting a million.
The exercise, launched July 1, is done through self-registration USSD code *147#.
It is also conducted through the website http://sha.go.ke, with the assistance of Community Health Promoters or by visiting NHIF offices and other designated registration points.
