Marsabit, Kenya - 14th June 2024 - Health Cabinet Secretary Nakhumicha S. Wafula presided over a Social Health Authority (SHA) digital registration test run in Marsabit County on Friday, alongside the World Blood Donor Day celebrations at Marsabit KMTC grounds. The event comes ahead of a mass registration drive across all 47 counties. 

The CS urged Kenyans to register under the new SHA scheme, aimed at achieving Universal Health Coverage. She highlighted the upcoming transition from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) to SHA, set to start on July 1, 2024, and encouraged locals to support the government's healthcare reforms. 

 Kenyans can register via the SHA website, public hospitals, or through 107,000 Community Health Promoters. The CS emphasized that the Linda Mama program remains in place under SHA, extending coverage to households and school-going children. 

 She also responded positively to Marsabit Governor Mohamud Ali's request for Clinical Medicine and Nursing courses at the local Kenya Medical Training College, with assessments to begin in September. 

 Present at the event were Blood Donation Ambassador Charlene Ruto, Governor Mohamud Ali, Woman Representative Naomi Waqo, Laisamis MP Joseph Lekuton, SHA Chairman Dr. Timothy Olweny, and KMTC CEO Dr. Kelly Oluoch.
