Teachers to Transition from Minet to SHA Medical Cover from December 1 - November 2025

Teachers across Kenya are slated to transition from their current medical insurance scheme, Minet Insurance Brokers, to the new Social Health Authority (SHA) program. This change is set to take effect on December 1, following the expiration of their previous KSh 20 billion private insurance contract. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) announced the new agreement, which aims to provide comprehensive medical coverage for educators and their dependents. While some reports indicate teachers have signed up for the new scheme, the move has sparked controversy. Some teachers are opposing the decision, and some school headteachers are reportedly angered after their superiors approved the transfer.
