Private hospitals have resumed Social Health Authority (SHA) services a day after President William Ruto directed partial payment of debt owed by government to the facilities.

The Rural and Urban Private Hospitals Association of Kenya (Rupha) lifted the suspension of SHA services in its member facilities, allowing patients to once again access care under the scheme.
