Dar es Salaam. Insurance and economic experts have emphasized the need for the government to glean insights from the ongoing row between the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) and private health service providers so as to guarantee a smooth implementation of the planned Universal Health Insurance (UHI).
There has been a misunderstanding between NHIF and private health service providers since January this year over new rates for some medical services and medicines.
