NAIROBI, Kenya Aug 9 \u2013 The Nairobi Hospital has opened negotiations with medical insurance companies to resolve a standoff over new treatment tariffs that has seen at least nine insurers suspend services at the facility.<\/p>\n
In a statement on Saturday, CEO Felix Osano said consultative meetings were underway with industry leaders to address concerns raised by insurers over the revised charges. <\/p>\n
The talks will culminate in a joint forum on Monday, August 11, aimed at reaching a \u201cmutually agreeable solution that safeguards patient care and sustains access to quality medical services.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe recognise the concerns raised by our insurance partners, but reiterate that the tariff adjustments are necessary to maintain the high standards of healthcare our patients deserve,\u201d Osano said, adding that independent comparisons showed the revised rates remained competitive compared to peer institutions.<\/p>\n
The hospital expressed confidence that \u201cthrough dialogue and goodwill, an amicable resolution will be achieved\u201d in the interest of patients, insurers, and the wider healthcare sector.<\/p>\n
Several insurers recently halted coverage for treatment at Nairobi Hospital, citing a sharp rise in costs that they say would burden both policyholders and the companies. <\/p>\n
The dispute has left many patients facing the prospect of paying out of pocket or seeking care elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Osano assured clients that the hospital\u2019s priority remained \u201cexcellent, accessible, and sustainable healthcare,\u201d and urged the public to remain confident as discussions continue.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
