Kang’ata accuses national government of disrupting Murang’a healthcare services

Murang’a Governor Irungu Kang’ata is accusing the national government of disrupting healthcare services in the county following the shutdown of its Afya-Ke digital system. Kang’ata says the system, used in hospitals to manage patient records, was switched off, forcing the county to migrate to the national government’s SHA Tibabu platform. The governor faults the Digital Health Authority, the Ministry of Health and SHA for declining to certify AfyaKe for health information exchange, despite assurances that it would be integrated with SHA.
