MoH, CoG set October 14 deadline for county facility contracts
CoG also committed to supporting Level 5 hospitals to complete their transition to the Health Management Information System by October 30.
The Ministry of Health and the Council of Governors in Kenya have agreed to a deadline of October 14 for the renewal of Social Health Authority (SHA) contracts for county public health facilities. This decision was made during a meeting between Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale and CoG Health Committee Chair Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nassir, who reviewed the SHA 2026–2029 contracting cycle known as HAKIKA.
The goal is to ensure all eligible county health facilities are contracted, paid on time, and continue serving SHA beneficiaries without interruption. The Ministry of Health and CoG will establish HAKIKA contracting clinics in every county by October 14 to assist facilities in completing the process. Each county facility will retain an individual contract with SHA, while SHA will accept relevant documentation held at the county level to reduce delays.
