- Move affects all counties and takes effect immediately
- Part of wider structural reforms within the agency
Main Story:
In a new directive, the State Health Agency has ordered all personnel stationed at branch offices outside county headquarters to relocate and begin reporting directly to the main county hubs. The order takes effect immediately, with implementation beginning tomorrow.
SHA Chief Executive Officer Dr. Mwangangi stated that the decision is part of an internal restructuring aimed at consolidating oversight, eliminating bureaucratic delays, and improving coordination between national and county health services.
“We are centralising staff functions at the county level to enhance operational efficiency and create stronger links between planning and service delivery,” he noted.
The directive affects SHA employees working in remote or sub-county offices. By consolidating human resources at the county level, the agency hopes to fast-track decision-making and improve health outcomes in line with government priorities.
The changes come amid ongoing efforts to digitise SHA processes and align its functions more closely with county health priorities. Dr. Mwangangi hinted at further reforms, including technology integration and updated reporting structures, in the coming months.
