Using SHA in Mombasa

Check that your SHA membership is active on *147# and carry your ID. Ask the facility which SHA services it provides before treatment. Start at a Level 2 or 3 facility for routine care and get a referral for specialist services unless it is an emergency.

Mombasa’s county hospitals collected KSh 2.41 billion in 2025/26 and the county was still owed KSh 1.54 billion in SHIF claims at 30 June 2026. More on the Mombasa County budget page.
