Government expands SHA coverage to include mental health services as Duale launches new reforms for Kenyans

Mental health services have officially been included in Kenya’s national health insurance package under the Social Health Authority (SHA), Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has announced.

Speaking during the 2nd National Mental Health Conference 2025 in Nairobi, Duale said the move marks a milestone in making mental healthcare affordable and accessible to all Kenyans.

“For the first time, mental health services are now part of the national insurance benefits package, ensuring that no Kenyan has to choose between caring for their mind and feeding their family,” said Duale.

The CS said the inclusion aligns with the Mental Health Act, 2023 and the Kenya Mental Health Policy, which recognize mental health as a fundamental human right guaranteeing dignity, access, and protection for those living with mental illness.

“The Ministry of Health continues to transform how mental health is perceived, financed, and delivered, guided by the Mental Health Act, 2023, and the Kenya Mental Health Policy,” he added.

To strengthen access at the grassroots, the ministry has deployed 107,000 Community Health Promoters (CHPs) to provide early, person-centered mental health support within communities.

“These frontline workers provide early, person-centered support and bring essential services closer to communities a key reform that reinforces the rollout of Kenya’s Taifa Care Model,” noted Duale.

He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to building sustainable and inclusive mental health systems in line with universal healthcare goals.

The ministry also plans to expand coverage through partnerships with private insurers, who will offer complementary plans under SHA, including overseas care, elective procedures, and premium add-ons.
