The government has moved to shield public officers from disruptions in healthcare services by ensuring that they continue to receive uninterrupted treatment, even as tensions between private hospitals and the Social Health Authority (SHA) escalate. On Tuesday, a high-level strategic meeting was held in Nairobi, bringing together SHA, the Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF), and the Kenya Association of Private Hospitals (KAPH). Also among the key outcomes of the meeting was the announcement of a new working arrangement to sustain the medical scheme for public officers.
