Kajiado County Governor Joseph Lenku is urging residents to register with the Social Health Authority (SHA).
Speaking in Kajiado town during the launch of a mass SHA registration drive, Lenku called on all leaders, healthcare professionals, government departments and development partners to ensure that all eligible Kenyans are enrolled with the health insurance. "It is our shared responsibility to ensure that all Kenyans are registered with SHA as one cannot gamble with health.
SHA is restoring dignity to health care, once enrolled, you will be able to access quality healthcare services without struggling financially," he said.
He pointed out that a large percentage of residents had not yet enrolled in the health insurance program, resulting in their continued exclusion from the essential health services provided under the enhanced scheme. "Only 30 per cent of Kajiado County residents have registered with the SHA," Lenku revealed.
