The Social Health Authority (SHA) paid over Sh11.4 billion to various hospitals in the past three months, a report by the Ministry of Health has revealed.

A record from the Ministry of Health shows that private, public, mission, and faith-based hospitals were paid between December 3 last year and February 3 this year for SHA services.

However, Rural-Urban and Private Hospitals Association (RUPHA) chairperson Brian Lishenga punched holes in the report saying it does show the true picture.

Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) got the highest amount of over Sh379.8 million, followed by Kenyatta University Teaching Referral and Research Hospital (KUTRRG) at over Sh358 million.
