Former Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) Mercy Mwangangi has been appointed as the new Social Health Authority (SHA) Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale in a press statement released on Friday, April 11, 2025, said that Mwangangi brings over 15 years of experience in Universal Health Coverage (UHC), institutional reform, and health systems strengthening.

Duale further described Mwangangi as a proven leader in health governance, resource mobilization, and strategic partnerships, with an exceptional track record of driving policy transformation and financing reforms in Kenya’s healthcare landscape, saying that she is poised to lead SHA into the next chapter.

“The Ministry of Health wishes to announce the appointment of Dr. Mercy Mwangangi as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Social Health Authority,” the statement read in part.

Dr. Mwangangi is currently the Senior Health Systems Strengthening Director at AMREF Health Africa where she has been spearheading health financing and health security investments across Africa.

Mwangangi shot to the public limelight during the COVID-19 period where she worked closely with the then Health CS Mutahi Kagwe in giving Kenyans daily updates on the COVID-19 situation in the country.

At the time, she worked as the health CAS in the then president Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration.
