Why It Matters
The SHA contract renewal deadline directly affects the delivery of health services to millions of Kenyan beneficiaries. If providers lose portal access, they cannot bill or receive payments for services, potentially halting care for patients who rely on the public health insurance scheme. Ensuring timely renewal safeguards continuity of treatment and maintains the integrity of the national health financing system.
