All Kenyans have a right to quality and affordable health services. But to make that possible, you must acquire an NHIF card first. You can apply for one online or offline. For both options, you need a copy of your ID card (and spouse if applicable), coloured passport photo, original and copies of birth certificates for dependents, and a copy of employer appointment. If you are not a Kenyan, you need a copy of your passport, work permit (and spouse if applicable), and passport picture. Below is how to apply for an NHIF card.
