Former employees of the defunct National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), including those appointed to senior positions in the new health scheme Social Health Authority (SHA), will learn their fate within three months.

Within this period, over 1,700 employees will find out whether they will be absorbed by SHA or redeployed by the Public Service Commission (PSC).

SHA Acting Chief Executive Officer, Robert Ingasira, stated that the vetting process for employees to be retained by the authority is currently underway.

He explained that from November 21, staffing matters at the new scheme were taken over by PSC.
