Fresh allegations about funds that Kenyans are contributing to the Social Health Authority to the effect that they could be going into private accounts serve to make the year 2024, a most dramatic one in the health sector.

Even as the Social Health Authority yesterday dismissed the claims permeating new media, what they join Kenyans in taking stock of, as the year draws to a close is that the health sector has experienced a whirlwind of moments making it a most dynamic one of all sectors of the country's basic services sectors

Kenya's health sector has been marked by sweeping radical reforms, contentious policy changes and industrial unrest.
