The Social Health Authority (SHA) in Kenya has granted healthcare providers a one-month grace period, until November 4, 2026, to fulfill five compliance requirements. These include documents issued by the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), fire safety authorities, the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD), and the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC).
SHA CEO Dr. Mercy Mwangangi announced the moratorium, which will not exempt providers from eventually submitting the outstanding documents. Providers meeting all other contractual requirements will receive a three-year contract, while those lacking any of the five documents may receive conditional contracts until the moratorium expires.
SHA's move aims to expedite the contracting and onboarding of eligible healthcare facilities for the country's health insurance system.
