Internal investigations by the national health insurer into how rogue facilities preyed on unsuspecting elderly people in Meru County have found Amal and Beirut hospitals, both based in Eastleigh, guilty of fraud.
While appearing before the National Assembly’s Health committee chaired by Dr Robert Pukose (Endebess), National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) acting CEO Samson Kuhora disclosed that other hospitals are under investigation. These include Afya Bora Hospital, Afya Bora Hospital Annex, Jekim Hospital Nkubu Ltd, Jekim Medical Centre, Joy Nursing and Maternity Eastleigh and St Peter’s Orthopaedics and Surgical Specialty Center.
