On Monday, the President William Ruto recently signed three laws, but the High Court issued orders postponing their implementation until February 7, 2024.
The Primary Health Care Act, the Social Health Insurance Act, and the Digital and Digital Health Act are among the Acts.
Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists & Dentists Union (KMPDU) had moved to court and applied to have the Acts suspended citing negative effects on the larger health industry.
“A conservatory order is hereby issued restraining the respondents, their agents, or anyone acting on their directives from implementing and enforcing The Social Health Insurance Act 2023, The Primary Health Care Act, 2023, and The Digital Health Act, 2023 until 7th February 2024,” Justice Chacha Mwita ruled.
