The Kenyan government, through the Ministry of Health, has granted a one-month extension for health facilities to transition from the Social Health Authority (SHA) Provider Portal to the Health Management Information System (HMIS).

• The extension applies to public Level 5 and 6 facilities, faith-based organisation (FBO) facilities, and private health facilities.
• Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale announced the extension to support the move towards a fully digital and paperless health information system.
• The transition will not affect patient access to healthcare services, with facilities urged to engage the Digital Health Agency (DHA) for technical assistance.
