CS Duale Welcomes New SHA Officers for Universal Health Coverage - March 2026

The Cabinet Secretary for Health, Aden Duale, has welcomed newly recruited officers to the Social Health Authority, a move aimed at bolstering the implementation of Universal Health Coverage. The Social Health Authority is urging all Kenyan employees to verify timely remittance of their monthly health insurance deductions by employers, emphasizing that employers are legally required to submit these contributions by the ninth day of the following month. Senior Economic Advisor David Ndii asserts that the government-to-government petroleum deal was crucial in preventing the Kenyan Shilling from depreciating to Ksh180 against the U.S. Dollar.
