The Social Health Authority (SHA) has announced plans to introduce an artificial intelligence-powered clinical support tool aimed at preventing harmful medical prescriptions.
SHA CEO Mercy Mwangangi said the system, set for rollout in 2026, will record all prescriptions on the Afya Yangu portal. The tool will automatically reject drugs that may harm patients, taking into account medical histories and allergies.
“This tool will ensure doctors don’t issue prescriptions that could endanger patients’ health. For example, if a patient has an allergy listed in their portal, the system will flag and reject risky prescriptions,” Dr. Mwangangi explained during an interview on Citizen TV.
She further disclosed that SHA will introduce free ambulance services across the country by October 2025. The services, to be launched by President William Ruto, will allow Kenyans to dial a dedicated number to access emergency transport at no cost.
According to SHA, the Ksh4,500 ambulance fee, along with emergency treatment costs incurred in the first 24 hours, will be fully covered.
“This service will ensure that whether you are in Nairobi or Turkana, a call will get you an ambulance without worrying about cost,” Mwangangi added.
The initiatives are part of broader reforms to strengthen SHA and improve access to quality healthcare nationwide.
