The Social Health Authority (SHA) has recently announced the disbursement of Ksh3.4 billion to health facilities countrywide.
In a statement released on August 20, SHA CEO Mercy Mwangangi noted that the funds are for inpatient and outpatient services, drug abuse cover, mental wellness and surgeries.

The authority is further processing Ksh1.7 billion for dialysis, oncology, and surgical claims.
Responding to claims of Nyandiwa Level 4 hospital not receiving funds from SHA, Mwangangi noted that the health facility received Ksh19million between January and June 2025 and that the hospital has confirmed receipt of the funds.
The disbursement comes days after SHA suspended 40 health facilities by the Social Health Authority (SHA) over engaging in fraudulent activities.
In a gazette notice issued on Friday, August 8, the authority said the facilities will be denied access to any benefits from SHA throughout the suspension period.
