William Ruto’s new Social Health Authority (SHA) is a game-changer. Linda Mama program just got 3x bigger, covering 26 million members vs NHIF’s 8 million.
But that’s not all. SHA aligns with international standards to make healthcare affordable & fair for Kenyans. Ready to learn more about this health revolution?

Which one is better between Ruto’s SHA vs. Uhuru’s NHIF?

William Ruto’s SHA has now evolved into a much broader and more inclusive model. The Linda Mama program was previously constrained as it catered only to maternity cases under (NHIF). This limitation highlighted SHA’s broader coverage of 26 million members versus NHIF’s 8 million. A Kenyan government initiative backed this shift to improve healthcare access amid a projected population surge to 63 million.

Data from the European Union’s System of Health Accounts framework, employed globally for health expenditure tracking, supports the assertion of SHA’s affordability and fairness, with Kenya’s adoption aligning with international standards to address escalating healthcare demands, as mentioned in The Star’s September article.

The Uhuru LindaMama program has been reborn under the Social Health Authority (SHA). It has been expanded and strengthened into what we now call #RutoLindaJamii. It is not just about mothers anymore; it is about the whole household.
