Digitisation of Health Management Systems

On 20th October, 2023, the President of Kenya promised to implement a digital health management information system that is progressive, responsive and sustainable for accelerated attainment of the highest standard of health for all Kenyans and to establish a fund to enhance health facilities. This included issuing 110,000 smartphones to the youth community health assistants.

Inasmuch as the digitisation of the Healthcare system in Kenya commenced, the transition and processes have not been without corruption allegations and reported fraud irregularities. There have been numerous concerns about the state of healthcare in the country, including fraudulent SHA claims reported in January 2026, the SHA registration scandal reported on 28th February 2026, and allegations of the SHA system being privately owned despite Kshs. 104.8 billion being spent on it.
