A new initiative by the Social Health Assurance (SHA) in Kenya is inviting individuals and companies to sponsor health coverage for Kenyans. The program requires sponsors to cover beneficiaries for a minimum of 12 months. Beneficiaries must complete registration and means testing before payments are processed.
The SHA initiative aims to expand access to health insurance for underprivileged Kenyans. Sponsors can contribute to the program, which ensures that beneficiaries receive continuous coverage. The means testing process is designed to identify eligible individuals who need financial support for healthcare.
This initiative follows recent efforts by the Kenyan government to improve healthcare access. The SHA program has been expanding its reach, particularly in rural areas where healthcare services are limited. The current sponsorship drive is part of a broader strategy to increase the number of insured individuals and reduce the financial burden on low-income families.
