What is a Nhima card? NHIMA has now introduced membership cards that will make every process easy for its members.
NHIMA membership cards will help verify members when they get to the health facility.
The process to verify nhima members used to be a bit lengthy leading to delayed service provision.
This initiative has been welcomed by many facilities working with nhima.
