Health care services access by teachers is still a nightmare at the verge of the new controversial social Health Authority wave.
This was revealed by Makueni County KNUT executive secretary Benson Ndambuki who admitted that SHA is still a big challenge in teachers access to health services.
He noted that the health scheme is making teachers suffer since they are not getting appropriate services.
“Teachers are still suffering in hospital. I think it were better if the government should reverse the policy and bring back NHIF which used to help our teachers without much suffering,” Ndambuki said.

Ndambuki also challenged the government that if it is not capable to fund schools with capitation then it should consider letting the responsibility be taken back to schools the way it used to be since schools are suffering.
He also decried very few CBC classes adding that schools with fully established classrooms is very small, adding that more funding is needed to construct enough classes.
“Even in Makueni the classrooms are very few and there is need for more funding to construct enough classrooms,” Ndambuki
