𝐍𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐢 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐲, 𝟔𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 - Pumwani Maternity Referral Hospital has made significant strides in integrating Social Health Authority (SHA) services, enhancing patient access to vital healthcare. 

Cabinet Secretary for Health Dr. Deborah Barasa, along with Director General of Health Dr. Patrick Amoth and Ministry and SHA officials, reviewed the ongoing implementation of SHA services today. 

 Nairobi County CEC for Health, Suzanne Salantoi, highlighted Pumwani’s full adoption of SHA services. CEO Christine Kiteshuo shared that October saw the hospital’s highest delivery count for the year, with 1,700 births recorded. Pumwani plays a critical role in supporting maternal and child health in Nairobi County, handling approximately 20,000 deliveries annually. 

 Since the SHA rollout on October 1, Pumwani has registered 970 mothers, increasing access to essential maternity and neonatal care. Community Health Promoters (CHPs) are actively working to boost enrollment and expand SHA’s reach to more mothers. 

Mothers interviewed expressed satisfaction with the SHA services, reflecting Pumwani’s commitment to quality care. With the continued rollout of SHA, Pumwani solidifies its leadership in maternity and neonatal services, advancing accessible healthcare for Nairobi’s mothers and children.
