    Ministry of Health Establishes Advisory Panel For SHA

    KENYA : The Ministry of Health (MoH) has set up the Benefits Package and Tariffs Advisory Panel (BPTAP) to oversee the rollout of the Social Health Insurance (SHA) program.

    Health Cabinet Secretary Dr. Deborah Barasa, Speaking at a media briefing, said the newly formed panel would provide expert recommendations on healthcare benefits, pricing, and service tariffs.

    The panel will play a crucial role in ensuring Kenyans receive quality healthcare through a fair and financially sustainable system.

    “The panel will serve as a critical advisory body to guide decisions around the Social Health Program,” Dr. Barasa stated.

    The panel, housed at the Centre for Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis (CEMA) at the University of Nairobi, consists of specialists in health economics, epidemiology, actuarial science, and health sciences.

    It will assess healthcare services, advise on pricing, and track the impact of the SHA program to ensure continuous improvement.

    Dr. Barasa emphasized the importance of an evidence-based approach in shaping healthcare reforms, noting that the panel will conduct rigorous Health Technology Assessments (HTAs) to prioritize cost-effective and high-impact interventions.

    She added that the panel’s work would enhance transparency and accountability, ensuring healthcare policies align with the needs of all Kenyans.

    Dr. Barasa confirmed that the panel would begin its work immediately, with a comprehensive review of the benefits package expected within two years.

    She reiterated the Ministry’s commitment to strengthening Kenya’s health system and ensuring the SHA program adapts to emerging healthcare challenges.

    The establishment of the advisory panel is a major step toward achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and removing financial barriers to healthcare.

    The government, in partnership with key stakeholders, remains committed to creating a healthcare system that upholds equity, affordability, and sustainability.
