The Social Health Authority (SHA) has moved to shut down all of its regional and sub-county offices across the country. The closures are part of a major institutional reform aimed at streamlining operations and reducing administrative costs.
According to a source familiar with the matter who spoke to Kenyans.co.ke, all staff have been relocated to SHA offices located in various county headquarters. The move is a key step in the authority's mission to make Universal Health Coverage (UHC) more efficient and sustainable for all Kenyans.
