Stakeholders in the health sector have identified some of the challenges facing implementation of Social Health Authority (SHA) across the country.
National Assembly's Health Committee Chair James Nyikal, says inadequate funding and resistance to contribution are the two main reasons why Kenyans cannot effectively access SHA services.
According to Dr Nyikal, only four million out of the 20 million registered Kenyans are entitled to all the benefits of SHA since they are the only contributors to the Fund. "So now, 20 million people are registered.
But only 4 million people have paid for SHIF.
