The National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) is a Social Health Insurance Scheme established by CAP 395 with the main objective of ensuring the accessibility of healthcare services to all Tanzanians. 

The Fund has managed to expand its coverage to include councilors, private companies, religious and educational institutions, private individuals, children under 18 (TOTO Afya) as well as mutual groups, whereby all members have equal access to health services in all accredited health facilities. The Fund is also administering the Bunge Health Insurance Scheme, on behalf of the National Assembly.

Business scenario and challenges

NHIF is a prestigious public institution that serves people all over dar es salaam and Tanzania. It has multiple sites spread over these regions. Their current surveillance platform had a few limitations in integrating third-party cameras and was not facilitating centralised monitoring for multiple locations.

Their current surveillance platform had a few limitations in integrating third-party cameras

This posed a problem in managing and monitoring all sites from a single location. For this, they needed a surveillance platform that could easily integrate with multi-brand cameras as well as facilitate multi-location monitoring.

Moreover, they needed a system with a monitoring capacity of over 500 cameras with the facility of remote management for real-time security.

Solution offered

To the above challenges, Matrix Offered SATATYA SAMAS Video Management System. It is a video surveillance management solution specifically designed to meet the diverse and complex needs of large enterprises having multiple sites connected to a central location or a large, single site.
