About the National Hospital Insurance Fund
The National Hospital Insurance Fund commonly known as Afya Yetu Bima Yetu is a State Parastatal in Kenya that was established in 1966 as a department under the Ministry of Health. Its purpose was to accommodate the changing healthcare needs of the Kenyan population, employment, and restructuring in the health sector.
Along the line, NHIF Supa Cover was introduced as a medical insurance cover that enables you and your family to enjoy an unparalleled benefits package. The Supa Cover has no maximum age limit, no pre-existing conditions, and no maximum number of children, but has the largest number of service centers.
