Mamlaka ya Afya ya Kijamii imezima Hospitali ya MP Shah katika mpango wa bima ya afya wa serikali kwa siku 90 baada ya malalamishi ya wagonjwa.

Katika barua ya Juni 23, 2026 iliyotiwa saini na Afisa Mkuu Mtendaji Dkt Mercy Mwangangi, SHA ilisema imepokea malalamishi mengi kuhusu huduma za afya hospitalini.

Baadhi ya wagonjwa walilazimika kulipa pesa kutoka mifukoni mwao kwa huduma zinazopaswa kugharamiwa kikamilifu na SHIF. Hospitali pia ilidaiwa kudai kiwango kidogo kuliko kinachostahili kutoka SHA.

Miongoni mwa visa ni cha Baby Thompson aliyedaiwa kulipa Sh83,308 mnamo Mei 3, 2026, pamoja na kesi za Guyo Rendille, P.N. Gupta na Vyonne Gakii. Hospitali imezuiwa kupokea wagonjwa wa SHIF hadi uchunguzi ukamilike.
