The Murang’a
County government has moved to court to challenge the shutdown of the Afya.ke
digital health platform by the national government.
In court
documents, the county says the Ministry of Health, through its agents, switched
off the digital system as part of the transition to the Health Management
Information System (HMIS), leaving more than 170 health facilities unable to
operate normally.
The county argues
that HMIS lacks the capacity to support telemedicine, a function it says is
central to healthcare delivery in its facilities.
