SHIF: Bottom 5 counties by % population registered

The data highlights the counties with the lowest percentage of population registered under the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF).

Leading in the list is Garissa County, with only 2.3% of its target population of 905,000 registered. Turkana follows at 3.0%, Mandera at 3.4%, Wajir at 4.1%, and West Pokot at 4.3%.

These counties face significant challenges in achieving broader health insurance coverage, potentially due to socioeconomic factors, geographical constraints, or limited awareness.

The low registration rates underline a critical need for targeted outreach and support to improve healthcare accessibility in these regions, ensuring that more residents can benefit from the financial protection and medical services provided by SHIF.
