SHA is not working
The Ministry of Health is appealing to Kenyans to contribute to the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) to ensure uninterrupted medical services.
The ministry says Although 19.4 million Kenyans are officially registered in the program, only 3.3 million people are actually contributing to the scheme.
According to the Ministry of Health, 8,813 out of 17,755 health facilities, representing 56 percent, have enrolled with SHA.
Over one million Kenyans have accessed primary healthcare services since October 2024, and processing time for per-authorization requests has been reduced from 10 hours to about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
