    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank Hon. Lilian Gogo for this Motion. She has been consistent on this matter. I have heard her raise it before. The problem with the implementation of SHA and SHIF is the clarity of the transition. When the Government decided to move from NHIF to the SHA, and with the benefits that the Chairman gave us — from social health insurance, to emergency and primary care — there was no proper communication and clarity on the benefits. As a former Chair, yes, NHIF had many challenges but when patients visited hospitals, they knew what to expect. So, a patient who was to go for dialysis or chemotherapy, and those are the majority, knew what to pay and if they were to top up. Unfortunately, when 1st October came, I also became a victim. I had a patient in hospital and even with an insurance, it was very difficult to claim what was meant to be NHIF which now had become SHIF under SHA."
