Dar es Salaam. The government has tabled in Parliament a Bill that seeks to amend the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) Act, in a move that seeks to align the operations of the agency with the planned Universal Health Insurance.

The NHIF was established by the law enacted in 1999 to primarily cover certain public servants.
