Examining patient choice and provider competition under the National Health Insurance Fund outpatient cover in Kenya: does it enhance access and quality of care?
There is a need for NHIF to share NHIF members' exit information with providers to support their service delivery arrangements in response to NHIF members' needs. Besides, this study contributes evidence on patient choice and provider competition and their influence on access and quality of care from a low-resource setting country which is crucial as NHIF transitioned to the Social Health Authority.
