Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has issued a stark warning that the Social Health Authority (SHA) could collapse within six months, potentially triggering a national healthcare crisis.

Gachagua claims hospitals are owed up to Ksh90 billion by the SHA, leading to operational strain.
The warning comes as the SHA faces financial challenges, with over Ksh76 billion in arrears, including those from the NHIF.
The Ministry of Health has disbursed funds, with Ksh15.4 billion paid in March, but hospitals are reportedly still demanding more.
