The Social Health Authority (SHA) has introduced a new initiative, 'Lipa SHA Pole Pole', aimed at making it easier for Kenyans to pay for healthcare.
The programme was launched on Tuesday by SHA's new chief executive Dr Mercy Mwangangi, during her official inauguration.
The 'Lipa Pole Pole' plan allows people to pay their health premiums or contributions in manageable installments, depending on their income. "Through this new instrument, if I am working anywhere in the country, maybe as a mama mboga, it now means I will be able to pay my annual premiums," said Mwangangi. "There will be options for daily contributions.
So, if your annual premium is Sh5,000 or Sh10,000, what would that look like as a daily deduction?
