The Social Health Authority (SHA) on Saturday, March 15, dismissed reports that it had paid claims owed to various hospitals, including President Ruto’s home hospital in Uasin Gishu. Initially, it had been claimed that Moi Referal and Teaching Hospital was paid Ksh345 million.

In a statement, the Authority flagged a viral document circulating on social media as fake.

“The Social Health Authority (SHA) cautions healthcare providers and the public that the payment analysis document linked at https://mgr.ctnt.pesaflow.com/cms/assets/uploads/2025/03/SHA-FACILITIES-PAYMENT-ANALYSIS.pdf is fake and should be ignored. We also want to inform healthcare providers that updates regarding the payment of the pending National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) debt will be communicated directly to them,” the statement read.

The Authority clarified that claims payments are made directly to healthcare providers and that it does not work with intermediaries.

Furthermore, the Authority advised that if users encounter any suspicious activity, they should report it to the SHA or the police immediately.
