Check if a hospital is SHA-contracted or licensed

Social Health Authority · sources read 30 Sep 2026

Open the Contracted Facilities page on sha.go.ke and pick your county to see every hospital, clinic and dispensary SHA has contracted. To check a facility is licensed, look it up on the KMPDC register at registers.kmpdc.go.ke.

Fee
We couldn't confirm a fee from the official page. Check it there before you pay.
Where
Online: sha.go.ke (Contracted Facilities, by county) and the KMPDC registers at registers.kmpdc.go.ke
Go to SHA

Steps

  1. Go to sha.go.ke > Hospitals > Contracted Facilities and select your county.
  2. Look for the facility by name. The list covers hospitals, clinics, health centres and dispensaries.
  3. To see the primary care facility you're mapped to, log in to Afya Yangu and open the Health Facility tab under your profile.
  4. To check a licence, open registers.kmpdc.go.ke > Health Facilities > Licensed Health Facilities (private, public or faith-based) and search for the facility.

Watch out

  • SHA only contracts facilities that are licensed and certified, so a facility on SHA's list has passed the regulator first.
  • Free primary care is at Level 2 and 3 facilities near the sub-county you gave when registering. For specialised care you can go to any facility.
  • If your preferred hospital isn't in your network, update your location to where that hospital is. SHA keeps adding facilities.

Who can apply

  • Anyone can check. The lists are public and need no login.
