A Kenyan infant, Chloe, is reportedly stranded in India after the Social Health Authority (SHA) allegedly reneged on a Ksh500,000 payment commitment for her life-saving heart surgery. Her father, Boniface Nyangau, claims SHA retracted its promise, while Health CS Aden Duale has dismissed a Ministry of Health letter supporting overseas treatment as "fake."

• The total cost for Chloe's surgery and travel was estimated at Ksh1.8 million, with the family raising Ksh1.125 million.
• Health CS Aden Duale labeled the Ministry of Health letter, which suggested no objection to overseas treatment, as "fake" and announced investigations.
• Baby Chloe, born in September 2024, suffers from a congenital heart defect, a complete AV canal defect, requiring urgent surgery unavailable in Kenya.
