True, if its an emergency NHIF will let you suffer before getting access to treatment. Seen it first hand, if you rely on NHIF, ALWAYS!!! ,I REPEAT ALWAYS CARRY CASH WITH YOU.

Very true. When my son was about to be admitted for a minor surgery they ambushed me with the pre authorisation requirement. Luckily, at their desk some guy asked me for kitu kidogo waorganise ifastrackiwe. In two hours I had it and eventually they cleared 150k from the bill.
