Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has issued a stern warning to medical facilities implicated in fraudulent activities.
Speaking on Wednesday, May 28, during the official launch of a new collaboration between the Ministry of Health and Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH), Duale threatened to release a list of the health facilities by June 14, 2025.
“The list will expose facilities previously contracted under the former NHIF that are implicated in fraudulent activities,” the Ministry of Health stated.
CS Duale also emphasized the Ministry’s resolve to crack down on unqualified medical practitioners, urging all players in the health sector to operate within the law.
He pointed out that the enforcement is central to the ongoing implementation of Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

Duale also said the partnership between the Ministry of Health and Aga Khan University Hospital will facilitate welfare support for surgical cases, including kidney transplants and cardiac surgeries, through the Social Health Authority (SHA).
“This partnership is a key step in reducing catastrophic health costs, especially for the most vulnerable in our communities,” Duale said.
He continued, “No Kenyan should be denied life-saving treatment because of financial limitations.”
Further, CS Duale called on other healthcare providers, public, private, and faith-based, to adopt similar models as AKUH, offering subsidized services for SHA beneficiaries.
Additionally, the health CS urged full implementation of the SHA tariff and benefits package to ensure affordable and seamless access to critical care.
