Hospitals Threaten to Suspend SHA Services Over Unpaid Dues - September 2025

Rupha hospitals are threatening to suspend Social Health Authority (SHA) services from Monday due to a staggering Sh43 billion in unpaid arrears. This sentiment is echoed by another report stating that access to health services under the SHA is in jeopardy due to unpaid dues by the government, threatening the continuity of essential healthcare. Amidst concerns about the health sector, Kimani Wamatangi, the Governor of Kiambu County, has dismissed separate allegations that health services in his county are insufficient and has denied claims of an ongoing strike by local healthcare workers.
