Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has said that most private hospitals in residential areas will be shut down once the Social Health Authority (SHA) is fully implemented.
Speaking to the media, Duale revealed that 60 per cent of clinics will close since they were opened through fraudulent activities that took place within the defunct National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), which has now been replaced by SHA. "The day SHA takes root, 60 percent of the many clinics you see in estates will close.
Most hospitals that you thought were doing good work were opened because of the fraud that took place in NHIF," he said.
He promised to dismantle cartels in the health sector, claiming that those opposing SHA are part of these cartels.
