肯尼亚的健康转型导致医院出现危机, Kenya's health transition causes hospital crises despite ongoing teacher enrollment in new system.

肯尼亚正从NHIF向新的公共部门保健社会卫生管理局(SHA)过渡, 超过400,000名教师进入统一系统。 Kenya’s transition from NHIF to the new Social Health Authority (SHA) for public sector healthcare is underway, with over 400,000 teachers moving to the unified system. 教师服务委员会确认,当地和国外的住院治疗将不间断地继续下去。 The Teachers Service Commission confirms ongoing inpatient treatments, both locally and abroad, will continue uninterrupted. 虽然这一转变旨在扩大覆盖面和改善全民医疗保健的护理服务,但医院面临严重危机,原因是三个月多的未支付账单,导致工作人员被解雇、空药房和设施关闭。 While the shift aims to expand coverage and improve care access under universal health care, hospitals face a severe crisis due to over three months of unpaid bills, leading to staff layoffs, empty pharmacies, and facility closures. 有些医院收到付款,而另一些医院则因技术问题被拒绝付款,引起人们对医院大规模停业的担心。 Some hospitals receive payments while others are denied over technical issues, sparking fears of widespread hospital shutdowns. 目前正在考虑采取法律行动,政府没有响应要求举行全国保健罢工的呼吁。 Legal action is being considered, and the government has not responded to calls for a national healthcare strike. 过渡仍在进行,SHA预计将简化福利和索偿处理程序。 The transition remains ongoing, with SHA expected to streamline benefits and claims processing.
