The data highlights the counties with the lowest percentage of population registered under the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF).
Leading in the list is Garissa County, with only 2.3% of its target population of 905,000 registered. Turkana follows at 3.0%, Mandera at 3.4%, Wajir at 4.1%, and West Pokot at 4.3%.
These counties face significant challenges in achieving broader health insurance coverage, potentially due to socioeconomic factors, geographical constraints, or limited awareness.
The low registration rates underline a critical need for targeted outreach and support to improve healthcare accessibility in these regions, ensuring that more residents can benefit from the financial protection and medical services provided by SHIF.
