The Government is conducting a nationwide mapping and registration of persons with disabilities in all 47 counties. This initiative aligns with the ongoing enrollment of Kenyans in the government's Social Health Authority (SHA). To register for SHA as a person with a disability, you must include a certificate of registration with NCPWD. This registration on SHA also benefits you in accessing other services, including assistive devices such as wheelchairs, crutches, hearing aids, etc.
This is part of the government's initiative to ensure 100% universal health coverage for persons with disabilities.
