Kenya: The National Health Insurance Fund Regulations, 2023
Following the recent release of the proposed amendments to the current Act, the NHIF invited public participation and feedback on the Draft National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) Amendment Act Regulation, 2023. The draft is meant to replace the NHIF Act 1998 (amended in 2022) subject to approval by the Parliament.
The key provisions that have been proposed include:
- a standard contribution rate of 2.75% of the gross monthly income for a person in salaried employment. This will be in contrast with the current Act in which individuals in formal employment are contributing between Kshs 150.0 to Kshs 1 700.0 based on gross salary bracket.
