The Social Health Authority (SHA) in Kenya has issued a warning against allowing friends or unauthorized individuals to use one's medical cover. This advisory came after the authority shared a response on its official social media platform on November 3, 2026.
The SHA clarified that medical cover is strictly tied to the individual holder. Sharing access could lead to denied claims and potential investigations. The warning emphasizes the importance of maintaining the integrity of the medical insurance system.
This advisory follows recent reports of fraudulent use of medical cover, which has raised concerns about the system's security. The SHA has urged Kenyans to protect their personal information and avoid any unauthorized sharing of their medical cover details. The move comes as part of broader efforts to enhance transparency and accountability in the healthcare sector.
