Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba MurkomenThe National Police Service (NPS) and Kenya Prisons Service (KPS) medical scheme has transitioned to the Social Health Authority (SHA) framework, in a move officials described as a game-changer. “The transition to the SHA framework is part of the broader security sector reforms aimed at improving the welfare of officers and their dependants. “The new scheme provides a more comprehensive and sustainable medical cover, including last expense benefits for officers and their dependants,” the CS said. Under the SHA framework, officers and their families will benefit from an expanded package covering outpatient and inpatient services, dental and optical care, emergency services, specialised treatment, and annual medical check-ups. Duale said any facility found demanding cash from officers for covered services will be cited for breach of contract.
