The Social Health Authority (SHA) has shut down all of its regional and sub-county offices across Kenya as part of a major institutional reform. This move aims to streamline operations and reduce administrative costs, with staff relocated to SHA offices in various county headquarters.

• All regional and sub-county SHA offices have been closed, with the Nairobi Upper Hill office serving as the central hub.
• CEO Mercy Mwangangi stated the consolidation of services is a key step in the authority’s structural realignment.
• The closures are intended to improve efficiency, reduce administrative costs, centralize operations, and contribute to the digitization of processes to support Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
