Two days after President William Ruto asked private hospitals to finalize enrollment with the Social Health Authority (SHA), 50% of private medical facilities onboard have been accused of denying services to Kenyans registered under the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) scheme.
Speaking in Mombasa, Medical Services Principal Secretary Harry Kimtai stated that these facilities are deliberately refusing to use the system and are demanding cash from poor Kenyans, further warning that the facilities risk being blacklisted.
