For decades, Northern Kenya was neglected and unfairly perceived as unproductive.

The Social Health Authority (SHA) offers a comprehensive cancer care package that supports patients through every stage, from diagnosis to treatment and follow-up care.
Patients have access to a full range of treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy and palliative care, all tailored to individual needs.
SHA also covers essential medical supplies and equipment such as consumables, chemo pumps and related medication.
The Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH) has successfully performed its first pneumonectomy, the surgical removal of an entire lung, marking a major milestone for the facility’s new Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery Unit.
The procedure was carried out on Pamela Achieng, a mother of eight suffering from a severe fungal infection known as aspergilloma. The surgery, led by Dr. Juma Odoro and his team, was successful, and the patient has since been discharged.
This achievement underscores JOOTRH’s growing capacity to offer complex, life-saving surgeries and supports Kenya’s efforts to expand access to specialised healthcare under Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
The transition from the Linda Mama programme to the Linda Jamii Scheme under the Social Health Authority (SHA) marks a major milestone in Kenya's healthcare system.
