Udacity Scholarship Programme in Africa

Overview

The National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) is a Social Health Insurance Institution established under the National Health Insurance Act, Cap 395 with the main objective of ensuring accessibility of health care services to people. It is a Government entity that operates under the Ministry of Health Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MHCDGEC). The management of the Fund is vested to the Board of Directors while its day to day operations are overseen by the Director General. The Fund considers health insurance as a societal affair rather than an individual need and thus operates under the principles of risk sharing and solidarity among members.

Despite the compulsory enrollment arrangement to public servants, the Fund has expanded its coverage to include other groups like Councilors, private companies, education institutions, private individuals, children under the age of 18, farmers in cooperatives as well as organized registered groups like Machinga and Bodaboda groups. The Fund is also administering the Bunge Health Insurance Scheme and covers Members of the Zanzibar House of Representatives.

ISO 9001:2015 Certification

The National Health Insurance Fund is ISO 9001:2015 Certified since 2018 to embrace the benefits of a Quality Management System that significantly increases efficiency and reduces wastes as well as maximizing customer satisfaction.

Core Functions of the Fund

The core functions of the Fund are to:-

  • Register members and issue identity cards;
  • Collect contributions;

  • Carry out Actuarial Assessment and Valuation; and
  • Provide health insurance education to the public.

Contributions

According to the NHIF Act, employees in the public sector are obliged to register themselves and contribute to the Fund a total of six percent (6%) of their monthly basic salary which is equally shared between the employer and employee. However, the Fund has put in place separate contribution arrangements for other groups that join the Fund voluntarily.

NHIF beneficiaries in a family set-up include the contributing member, his or her spouse and up to four legal dependents.
