14 Million Kenyans Enrolled in New Healthcare Initiative, Accessing Free Treatment for Chronic Conditions
By Bruno Aero
The Social Health Authority (SHA) has successfully registered over 14 million Kenyans, marking a significant milestone in providing universal access to essential healthcare services.
Government Spokesperson Dr. Isaac Mwaura, said that this initiative ensures that Kenyans can now receive treatment for chronic illnesses, such as cancer and diabetes, without out of pocket expenses at public hospitals across the nation.
SHA is part of the government’s broader strategy to reduce the financial strain of medical costs, particularly for those battling long-term conditions. By easing access to essential treatments, the program aims to improve overall health outcomes and quality of life for millions of Kenyans.
Dr. Mwaura also emphasized that the government is encouraging private healthcare providers to partner with SHA, expanding affordable care options as demand for healthcare services continues to grow.
With private sector participation, SHA is set to make healthcare more accessible and equitable, fulfilling the government's promise of universal health coverage for all.
