Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku has denied reports that the Social Health Authority (SHA) plans to prevent civil servants from accessing medical care.
In a statement on Saturday, August 9, the CS termed the reports as misleading and meant to trigger unnecessary panic among civil servants. Ruku affirmed that the government will ensure that all civil servants, together with their families, will continue receiving health services from contracted facilities across the country.
The CS stressed that no civil servant or his/her dependents should pay cash for any healthcare facility, whether government-owned, faith-based or a private hospital.
