In a Sunday morning church service, President William Ruto highlighted that the launch of universal health coverage, at the start of the month will guarantee the government delivers healthcare to all Kenyans.
The president announced that the government has already enrolled 12.8 million people under the New Social Health Authority (SHA). His remarks follow complaints from many patients, who say they haven’t been getting treatment at various health facilities, as they’re being asked to pay their bills in cash.
The Ministry of Health reports that over 12 million Kenyans have signed up for the Social Health Authority, with the government adding that 1,442 hospitals have signed contracts. However, the government also confirmed that all public hospitals, from level 2 to level 6, are now providing services to SHA-registered members.
