The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) has introduced a new course in line with the government's plan to transition 100 per cent of Kenyans to the Social Health Authority (SHA).
Speaking to the media, KMTC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr Kelly Oluoch announced that the medical school would work with the Ministry of Health to aid in the registration and all processes required of the Social Health Authority (SHA).
As a result, the school would henceforth offer a course in Medical Insurance to cover the intricacies involved in SHA implementation. "We note that the roll-out of SHA will require more qualified staff, particularly ones who are able to help in pre-authorisation, looking at claims management, and ensuring that there is efficiency in service provision in SHA," Dr Oluoch stated.

Being a medical college, Dr Oluoch remarked that it was essential that the students receive an education that would help them in addressing disparities in the medical industry.
