Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has warned hospitals and doctors against fraudulent claims under the Social Health Authority (SHA), saying offenders will be forced to refund money and face prosecution.
Duale, who was addressing a press conference in Nairobi on Monday, August 25, noted that contractual agreements under the SHA Act are signed with individual facilities, not associations. "Hospitals like Nairobi Hospital, Aga Khan, Kenyatta National Hospital and Kenyatta University Hospital all hold individual contracts with SHA, not through associations," Duale explained.
He warned that any facility, doctor or patient found in fraudulent dealings will face the full force of the law. "We are watching closely.
Anyone involved in fraud will be held liable," Duale stated.
