DIGITAL HEALTH PLATFORM BOOSTS KATHONZWENI HOSPITAL OWN SOURCE REVENUE TO KSH 1.7 MILLION

Kathonzweni Level 3 Hospital has recorded a major revenue breakthrough, hitting KSh 1.7 million in SHA claims last month, a sharp rise from the previous average of KSh 600,000 to 1.1 million.

The impressive jump follows the rollout of TIBERBU, a digital health claims system under Taifa Care.

Implemented by the Digital Health Authority, in partnership with the Makueni County Government, TIBERBU is transforming healthcare by digitising service delivery, enabling real-time SHA claims and reducing turnaround time for patient care.

During an inspection visit on Wednesday, CECM for Health Joyce Mutua commended the staff for team work and noted the system’s impact, in expediting patient care and ensuring timely claims from SHA.

She said SHA rembursements will be retained at the health facilities to improve hospital infrastructure, restocking essential supplies, and hire additional staff.

Mutua urged the community step up SHA registration, including schools who form the bulk of the hospital’s clients, to help sustain and expand access to quality healthcare services.
