The Social Health Authority (SHA) has issued a formal compliance notice to all employers across the country as the number of new registrations for the healthcare model continues to soar.
In the notice issued on Wednesday, May 15, employers were reminded of their legal obligations under the Social Health Insurance Act (SHI) of 2023, which requires employers to register and enrol employees in the Social Health Insurance Fund and remit contributions.
More importantly, SHA reiterated that the directive applied to all employers, from the national government and the county government to the private sector.
Under section 27(1) of the Act, employers operating in Kenya are liable to contribute to the fund regardless of their sector of operation.
