Former Chief Justice David Maraga has condemned the Kenya Kwanza government for failing to provide sustainable health services to Kenyans despite them paying for the Social Health Authority(SHA).
Reacting to the recent developments that all hospitals under the Rural and Urban Private Hospitals Association of Kenya (RUPHA) would no longer be offering services to patients under SHA, Maraga described the situation as wrong and morally unacceptable, subjecting Kenyans to suffering.
On Thursday, RUPHA announced that Kenyans under SHA will not be getting health services due to the failure of the government to remit funds for their services. "The decision follows months of failed engagements, unfulfilled promises, and growing financial distress among hospitals, which now threatens the very survival of healthcare institutions across Kenya," RUPHA said in a statement.
Social Health Authority building in Nairobi Photo Wingubox Maraga has demanded that the government act promptly to restore these services and ensure all Kenyans can access medical care.
