The government, through the Ministry of Health, will now integrate the registration of children on the Social Health Authority (SHA) portal with the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS).
Director General (DG) of Health Patrick Amoth made the announcement on Thursday while speaking on a local vernacular station, stating that the move aims to streamline the updating of dependants' information and ensure a seamless registration process. "We will be working with the Ministry of Education on their NEMIS system to triangulate additional information to help with the registration process," Amoth stated.
However, he acknowledged that the NEMIS system had some challenges in terms of data accuracy. "At the beginning of this, we noted that the NEMIS system had a few challenges in terms of the data they had.
We will be working with them to ensure the system is flawless so that we can just pick information from NEMIS and upload it on the SHA system," he added.
