I am deeply concerned at the news that the Rural Urban Private Hospitals Association intends to suspend healthcare services to Kenyans due to the failure of government to remit funds for their services.
The failure to remit refunds is unacceptable as the government-run Social Health Authority is responsible for these payments, and Kenyans have been paying into SHA (and before that into NHIF).
It is wrong and morally unacceptable to subject Kenyans to suffering when they need hospital services and medicines. I imagine that some of these cases need urgent medical attention and cannot wait. Lives are at stake. The government must seriously address the crumbling of healthcare institutions. Our Constitution guarantees Kenyans the right to the highest attainable standard of health.
For far too long, providing access to healthcare services has been chocked by poor policies and corrupt practices in government. We cannot be a people who make two steps forward and five steps backward because a few people have found a way to game the industry and enrich themselves.
A country with a sick population cannot advance. We must ensure the best healthcare institutions if we are to realize the aspirations on universal healthcare in our constitution.
