flag Kenya's health transition causes hospital crises despite ongoing teacher enrollment in new system.

flag Kenya’s transition from NHIF to the new Social Health Authority (SHA) for public sector healthcare is underway, with over 400,000 teachers moving to the unified system. flag The Teachers Service Commission confirms ongoing inpatient treatments, both locally and abroad, will continue uninterrupted. flag While the shift aims to expand coverage and improve care access under universal health care, hospitals face a severe crisis due to over three months of unpaid bills, leading to staff layoffs, empty pharmacies, and facility closures. flag Some hospitals receive payments while others are denied over technical issues, sparking fears of widespread hospital shutdowns. flag Legal action is being considered, and the government has not responded to calls for a national healthcare strike. flag The transition remains ongoing, with SHA expected to streamline benefits and claims processing.
