With the support of USAID and Health Partners, the Health E-Quality Kenya program has initiated a transformative three-day training session for Cooperative and NHIF officials. This essential initiative aims to equip officials with the necessary skills and knowledge to educate and assist local communities in accessing the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF).
Aside from SHIF training, officials are being educated on how to empower the informal sector to join cooperatives and take advantage of SHIF benefits. Cooperative officials are also receiving training on providing healthcare funding and insurance for their clients, particularly those in the informal sector.
This training is crucial in ensuring that the local residents of Kilifi County can easily access healthcare services. Following the completion of this session, health officers and cooperative officials will be better equipped to provide accurate and timely information about SHIF, ultimately leading to improved understanding and access for the community.
Together, we are making significant progress towards a healthier and more well-informed Kenya.
