What SHA covers and how to get treated

Steps

1. Log in to Afya Yangu and open the Health Facility tab under your profile to see the primary care facility you're mapped to.
2. For free primary care, go to a Level 2 or 3 facility near you. For specialised care, you can visit any facility.
3. At the facility, confirm who you are with your biometrics. If that fails, a one-time code (OTP) is sent to your registered phone or email.
4. If you need higher-level hospital care, you're referred to a Level 4 to 6 contracted facility and SHIF pays, as long as you're registered and paid up.
