RUPHA Statement on Suspension of SHA in Private Hospitals

Please be advised that, effective today, all healthcare services (unless otherwise stated) at this facility for Social Health Authority (SHA) beneficiaries will be provided on a cash basis.

This change follows a directive by the Rural & Urban Private Hospitals Association of Kenya (RUPHA), which represents private hospitals nationwide. The decision has been taken due to delayed and unsettled payments by SHA, which has made it unsustainable for hospitals to continue offering services on credit.

We regret the inconvenience this may cause and assure you that this action is driven by our commitment to ensure that:

Hospitals remain open,

Essential supplies and equipment are available, and

Our staff can continue to serve you with the highest standards of care.

We remain hopeful that these issues will be resolved promptly and that normal service arrangements with SHA will resume.

Thank you for your understanding.

Management
