The Social Health Authority (SHA) has suspended M.P. Shah Hospital from its panel of contracted healthcare providers as of June 23, 2026, due to ongoing investigations. This suspension affects services under various healthcare funds, including the Primary Healthcare Fund and the Public Officers Medical Scheme Fund, as announced in a public notice on June 24, 2026.

MP Shah Hospital has issued a response following the suspension of services by the SHA, committing to investigate the billing issues that led to the suspension. The hospital also promised to assist patients with safe transfers and stated that it will cooperate fully with the relevant authorities during the investigation.

M.P. Shah Hospital has initiated an internal review to determine if patients were improperly charged for services that should have been covered under the State Health Insurance Fund (SHIF). The hospital stated it will cooperate with the relevant authorities in the billing investigation.

The National Assembly Health Committee has highlighted issues within the Social Health Authority (SHA), noting that while 30 million Kenyans are registered, only 4 to 5 million have paid the necessary premiums to qualify for inpatient hospital services. This concern was raised during a recent meeting, indicating significant gaps in healthcare access related to the SHA.

The SHA has suspended MP Shah Hospital amid ongoing investigations, but clarified that patients already admitted will continue to receive treatment until their discharge. This decision reflects the authority's commitment to addressing the issues under investigation while ensuring patient care is not disrupted.
