WOW!!!......KENYA GOES THE ZANZIBAR WAY!

• UGANDA PROBABLY TO FOLLOW SOON!

"All visitors to Kenya will be compelled to buy a local health insurance cover in the country, irrespective of the duration of their stay, creating a new cash cow for the insurance industry from the more than 1.5 million foreigners who arrive annually.

The National Assembly Health committee, which is reviewing the Social Health Insurance Bill, 2023, has proposed an amendment making it mandatory for all foreigners who visit Kenya to have a travel health insurance.

“A person who is a non-Kenyan and intends to enter the territory of Kenya for a period of less than 12 months shall be required to be in possession of a travel health insurance cover designated by the Cabinet Secretary [for Health],” the committee says in the report tabled in the House last week.

The Bill expected to be passed by Parliament this week promises to boost the entity that will replace the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF)".
