The government has threatened to arrest a section of Kenyans over a series of fraud schemes targeting the Social Health Authority (SHA) Fund.
Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale raised alarm over a trend of scams perpetrated by various stakeholders, including hospitals, health workers and in some bizarre cases, patients. "We have noted with great concern a growing trend of fraudulent activities being perpetrated by some healthcare facilities, healthcare workers, and even patients against the Social Health Authority (SHA) Fund.
These actions are illegal, unethical, and a direct betrayal of the trust placed in our health system," Duale said in a statement.
Among the schemes the CS flagged was the deliberate misinterpretation of medical claims.
