Why are you men complaining about SHIF as if you will get pregnant? -President Ruto Roars again

During recent discussions on the government’s health sector reforms, President William Ruto made a bold statement in response to public criticism of the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF).

He questioned why men were vocal about the SHIF, quipping that it was unlikely they would face pregnancy complications, a humorous remark that added a lighthearted touch to the heated debate.

This comment reflects the challenges and gender dynamics surrounding healthcare policies, which have sparked reactions from both male and female citizens.

The SHIF replaces the previous National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), marking a shift toward universal health coverage that aims to ensure all Kenyans have access to essential healthcare services​.

The rollout of SHIF, however, has faced significant criticism, with some Kenyans expressing concerns over technical issues and delayed services.

The transition has been challenging, and there have been reports of patients struggling to access timely medical care, especially in rural areas.

Many Kenyans are concerned about the affordability of healthcare under the new system, as SHIF contributions depend on income, with households contributing 2.75% of their income.

This has led to mixed feelings as citizens adjust to the updated policies and new procedures, with many wondering if the changes will genuinely make healthcare accessible to everyone​.

President Ruto defended the program, stating that it would lead to better healthcare outcomes and ensure equitable access, especially for vulnerable populations.

Despite the current challenges, the government emphasizes that SHIF is a step toward a more inclusive health system.

The President remains optimistic that, as the system stabilizes, it will not only ease the burden on individual families but also improve Kenya’s public health landscape by making preventive care more accessible.

His administration has called for patience as the SHIF transitions and seeks to overcome initial obstacles to achieve its goal of universal healthcare​.
