Unakaribishwa na unatibiwa. Choose any hospital — government \(for NHIF\) or private \(self-pay\). You're admitted and treated. 2 #### NHIF Inalipia Hospitali NHIF Pays the Hospital Kama umeenda hospitali ya NHIF, wao wanalipia dawa, daktari, na upasuaji moja kwa moja. Wewe hulipe chochote. If you went to an NHIF hospital, they pay for medicine, doctor, and surgery directly. You pay nothing. 3 #### MILVIK Inakupa Pesa MILVIK Gives You Cash Baada ya kuondoka hospitalini, unawasiliana na MILVIK. Tunakupa TSh 60,000-100,000 kwa kila usiku uliolazwa. Pesa hizi ni zako kufanya nini unataka\! After leaving hospital, you contact MILVIK. We give you TSh 60,000-100,000 for each night admitted. This money is yours to do whatever you want\! 4 #### Unatumia Pesa Kwa Mahitaji Yako You Use Money for Your Needs • Chakula cha familia wakati upo hospitalini • Nauli ya kwenda na kurudi hospitalini • Kulipa deni uliokopa wakati wa dharura • Malipo ya kodi au shule • Family food while you're in hospital • Transport to and from hospital • Pay back loans borrowed during emergency • Rent or school fees ## Uvumi Unaozungumzwa: Je, Ni Kweli? Common Myths: True or False? ❌ #### UVUMI: "Kama una NHIF, huhitaji bima binafsi" MYTH: "If you have NHIF, you don't need private insurance" **UKWELI:** NHIF ni nzuri, lakini hailipe gharama za ziada kama chakula, nauli, au hasara ya mshahara. Bima binafsi inajaza pengo hili kwa kukupa pesa taslimu. **TRUTH:** NHIF is good, but doesn't pay extra costs like food, transport, or lost salary. Private insurance fills this gap by giving you cash. ❌ #### UVUMI: "Bima binafsi ni ghali sana" MYTH: "Private insurance is too expensive" **UKWELI:** MILVIK inaanza TSh 2,500 tu kwa mwezi — ni TSh 83 kwa siku\! Ni bei ya soda moja tu. Lakini faida ni kubwa: hadi TSh 100,000 kwa usiku unapolazwa. **TRUTH:** MILVIK starts at just TSh 2,500 per month — that's TSh 83 per day\! Price of one soda. But benefit is huge: up to TSh 100,000 per night hospitalized. ❌ #### UVUMI: "Hawatalipa — ni udanganyifu" MYTH: "They won't pay — it's a scam" **UKWELI:** MILVIK Tanzania imetumikia Watanzania zaidi ya miaka 10.
