The Rural & Urban Private Hospitals Association of Kenya (RUPHA) has told the newly appointed Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale that lowering Social Health Authority (SHA) premiums for Kenyans is the only way he can succeed in the health docket.
The CS had visited the Ministry of Health headquarters for familiarization when he alleged that the Ministry was derailing due to cartels and tycoons who benefitted from the defunct National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) rejecting SHA. However, RUPHA was not appeased by Duale's sentiments, claiming the starting point for SHA to work is to dismantle the cartels.
Duale is the third Cabinet Secretary to handle the sector since President Ruto took over.
The first CS under Ruto was Susan Nakhumicha, then Deborah Mulongo, and now Aden Duale, who is believed to have come to save it from its struggles.
