The National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) has come out to defend itself on claims that it eliminated the free maternity health care program known as Linda Mama.
“NHIF wishes to assure the public that the cover is still active as mothers continue to benefit massively. So far, over 6 million mothers have benefited from the cover since Its Inception in 2017.”
During his administration, former President Uhuru Kenyatta launched the project in an effort to increase access to and the caliber of services for maternity, neonatal, and child health care.
The project is a key pillar in advancing Kenya’s Vision 2030 and the Sustainable Development Agenda.
Over 6 million women have benefited from the program since it was introduced, according to a statement from NHIF dated January 2, 2023.
