President William Ruto has directed all Level 1 to Level 4 hospitals across the country to offer free healthcare to Kenyans who have already registered with the Social Health Authority (SHA).

Speaking in Embu on Sunday, June 6, the head of state claimed that the government has already disbursed money, which will cover the cost of healthcare for all registered Kenyans who seek services in these facilities.

Ruto has said that anyone who is charged at these facilities should immediately report them to the government, through local authorities, for necessary action to be taken.

Additionally, the president has affirmed that the government, led by the Ministry of Health, will not backpedal in its crackdown on fraudulent health facilities and doctors who are overcharging patients through the medical scheme.
