In a notice issued on Thursday, October 15, 2026, the authority announced that it had moved the deadline from October 14 to December 31, 2026, giving healthcare facilities additional time to finalize the contracting process and maintain uninterrupted services for beneficiaries.
“The Social Health Authority (SHA) informs all healthcare providers that the transition period for existing healthcare provider contracts, previously scheduled to lapse on 14th October 2026, has been further extended to 31st December 2026,” the notice stated.
