REGISTRATION OF LEARNERS ON SOCIAL HEALTH AUTHORITY (SHA)
The Constitution of Kenya guarantees every person the right to the highest attainable standard of health, which includes the right to health care services.
It is on the premise of this constitutional provision that the Social Health Insurance Act No. 16 of 2023 was enacted.
The Act provides that every Kenyan, including children shall register on SHA.
In this regard, parents/guardians of school going children are required to register them on Social Health Authority through URL https://afyangu.go.ke or by dialing (*147#) and following the instructions.
You are therefore directed to inform all schools within your jurisdiction to communicate this information to parents promptly and provide any other necessary guidance to facilitate registration process latest by 28th February 2025.
