A Nairobi family faces a two-month delay in burying their relative, Antony, after he fraudulently used his brother's identity to access medical care at Mbagathi Hospital under the Social Health Authority (SHA). This deception led to a fraud investigation, stalling the issuance of a correct death certificate.

• The deceased, Antony, was admitted on November 7, 2025, and died shortly after, with a death certificate mistakenly issued in the name of his living brother.
• Mbagathi Hospital administrator Alex Irungu flagged the case as fraudulent, and a court application related to the impersonation was dismissed, leaving the family in limbo.
• Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale warned that such identity fraud under the Social Health Insurance Act, 2023, carries severe legal consequences, including prosecution and potential asset recovery.
