[kictanet] NHIF & HOSPITALS

[Ali Hussein]

> Listers

> Is there anyone out there on this list who can explain to me why one needs to produce a full year's receipts to get your NHIF deduction from Hospital? 
> 
> This makes a  none sense of all the strides we have made in the ICT space and especially in the govt. sector.   
> 
> Instead of NHIF embarking on grandiose projects can they first at least create a portal and a mobile app for hospitals and patients to access and check their account status? Surely this is something one young techie sitting at ihub can do with her eyes closed!
> 
> A few days ago I went through a convoluted process at Aga Khan Hospital discharging my dad and losing an argument about NHIF deductions and the hospital insisting on Physical receipts of proof of payment!! Surely...
> 
> Two weeks ago there was an interesting debate on eHealth. I suggested that focus needs to be on some low hanging fruits and quick wins. I suggest that Records Portability is one of them. It will not only save money and time but also reduce high blood pressure :)
> 
> In the spirit of not just criticizing but offering solutions too  how can we ensure smooth and seamless interaction between NHIF and the hospitals. Or may be KICTB can take this up?
