SHA REGISTRATION HITS 23 MILLION MARK
23.3 million Kenyans have registered with the Social Health Authority (SHA).
President William Ruto says 93,251 enlisted into the new health scheme on Monday June 9, 2025.
The figures also show that 10,884 means-tested members paid their monthly premiums, contributing KES48.9 million, while 2,946 Kenyans enrolled in the Lipa SHA Pole Pole programme on the same day.
The President said the numbers can be attributed to the success stories citizens are telling about SHA. “Kenyans have started to see that SHA is paying bills for people around them,” he observed.
President Ruto said SHA is now touching the lives of many Kenyans and assured Kenyans that the provision of healthcare will only get better. “In the next one year, fundraisers for medical bills will reduce. People will no longer sell property to pay medical bills,” the Head of State said.
He made the remarks when he hosted more than 600 African Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa (AIPCA) leaders at State House Nairobi on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
