SHA was launched in October 2024, taking over from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), which had served Kenyans for more than 50 years.

The new scheme integrates three key funds; the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF), the Primary Healthcare Fund, and the Emergency, Chronic and Critical Illnesses Fund.

Ruto, in endorsing SHA, said the scheme was designed to close loopholes exploited by cartels in the health sector to siphon public money through fraudulent claims.
