Where we work
Health financing, costing and HTA support in Kenya
Kenya's move to the Social Health Authority, with a panel mandated to use health technology assessment for benefits and tariffs, is creating demand for local costing, cost-effectiveness and budget impact evidence. We support government, insurers, partners and researchers from our East African base.
The health economics context
A new insurer and a benefits and tariffs panel
The Social Health Authority replaced the National Hospital Insurance Fund, with the Social Health Insurance Fund operating from 1 October 2024. In February 2025 the Ministry of Health announced a Benefits Package and Tariffs Advisory Panel to recommend benefits and tariffs, using health technology assessment.
