Principle secretary health Harry Kimutai has revealed that the MOH is set to form a committee that will review SHA’S tariffs and benefits.
“The Committee report will address both short- and long-term interventions to ensure SHA sustainability and responsiveness to the needs of Kenyans,” he said.
He encouraged employers to ensure all their employees are onboarded on SHA and promptly remit their monthly premiums.
Additionally, the government is evaluating avenues to bolster the overall healthcare delivery system, including the potential recapitalisation of the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA).
According to the STAR, Kimtai noted that the SHA tariffs ensure sustainable healthcare coverage and equitable access while maintaining a shared responsibility model.
He added that in cases where hospital charges exceed specified limits, beneficiaries may be required to make co-payments.
