Barasa said this is coming following the ministry to get Sava, which came on Friday, January 31.
He showed the belief that the new sava would eliminate the challenges of system interruptions facing consumers.
“Yes, we have had a challenge, one being systemic breakdown, but as you know, other systems even in developed countries, systemic breakdown is normal,” He said.

“We had very few people with NHIF. Now we have over 18 million people who have registered under Shif. he added.
How does the Ministry of Health plan to address the challenges of the SH system?

He revealed the acquisition of a new sava that would help in the process.
“We are happy that we now have Sava that came in on Friday, and now they are working to solve technical issues to ensure that the SH system works effectively,” Barasa said.

Barasa believes that Sha, under the nation Care, will be able to provide adequate medical care to all Kenyans, whether rich or poor.
He added that other issues such as referral tactics, and that his ministry is traveling around all counties in Kenya to see other challenges facing.
“Our technical teams are working all night to resolve those challenges, and we also partner with other ministries such as the interior, to ensure Kenyans have such documents as national IDs to register and access services under Sha,” He said.

MPs made a strong decision to address issues that are going on with Shif.
The order was issued during a central break of the parliamentary term aimed at addressing important national issues, including health.
MPs raised concerns about the failure of several performance within the SH, especially poor communication, financial shortages, and lack of Shif implementation strategies, which have replaced NHIF.
They focused on problems such as system problems, delayed approval of medical procedures, and the total suffering of patients trying to access health care under the new system.
