• Despite this, there are concerns that are still raised about the SHA digital sysytem. Some hospitals have complained that the system occasionally flags legitimate claims as suspicious, leading to delayed payments and disruptions in service delivery.

In addition, investigations and public reports suggest that the system is still facing accuracy challenges during its rollout phase, particularly in areas such as AI-based assessments, claims verification, and the classification of vulnerable households.
• Most importantly, investigations and audits found that SHA has lost billions of shillings through fraudulent claims, including “ghost hospitals” (facilities that exist on paper but not physically), fake patient admissions, double billing for services not provided and Inflated or fabricated treatment claims. An audit reported about KSh 11 billion lost to fraud between Oct 2024 and Apr 2025.
