Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale
announced the closure of the SHA provider portal as thousands of facilities
shift to the Health Management Information System (HMIS), with all 6,427 public
Level 24 county facilities already transitioned and others given until October
30.
The move promises a standardized, paperless system for patient verification and claims, with no interruptions to care. Public outcry focuses on the KSh 104 billion spent on SHA, with critics like Senior Counsel Paul Muite demanding refunds and explanations, while the government stresses improved efficiency and interoperability.
