The National Assembly’s Departmental Committee on Health has launched a countrywide fact-finding mission into the troubled Social Health Authority (SHA) system.

This is amid mounting complaints over payment of ghost hospitals, delayed claims, rejected payments, and fraud allegations that are threatening to derail the government’s universal health coverage plan.

It is suspected that Sh24 billion could have been lost in the scheme through fraudulent claims.
