The Ministry of Health(MoH) has clarified the differences between the medical cover issued to public servants and the Social Health Authority (SHA) scheme offered to public servants.
According to the Ministry, the transition from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) to SHA raised questions about how medical coverage for public servants was structured and brought confusion among them.
Explaining the distinction between the Medical Administrators Kenya Limited (MAKL) and SHA, the ministry revealed that MAKL is a private medical insurance administrator that primarily manages healthcare schemes for specific public sector groups.
According to MoH, MAKL acts as an intermediary, administering health insurance services on behalf of insurers contracted by the public servants.
