Health Cabinet Secretary Deborah Mulongo Barasa speaks during the launch of Social Health Authority held at Central Primary School in Eldoret City on October 1, 2024.
The government has said the comprehensive benefits package for the SHA has been finalised, though current government funding covers only 4% of the total estimated costs.
Already the government has allocated Sh6.1 billion for the SHA, which is just a fraction of the Sh168 billion needed for the full implementation of the scheme.
Low turnout was witnessed in Eldoret City in Uasin Gishu County during the launch of the Social Health Authority (SHA) presided over by Health Cabinet Secretary Dr Deborah Barasa.
The launch was held at Central Primary School sports ground.
