Kenya’s Digital ID System Integrates with Social Protection and Health Services

Kenya’s Huduma Namba digital ID system is now fully integrated with the Social Health Authority, National Safety Net Programme, and Digital Maternity Wallet. Citizens can access health insurance, cash transfers, and maternal grants using a single biometric ID. The integration has reduced duplicate registrations by 90% and cut disbursement time from weeks to hours. Over 42 million adults are enrolled, with 95% verification accuracy. The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner confirms compliance with privacy laws. The system is a cornerstone of Kenya’s digital government transformation, enhancing efficiency and inclusion across public services.
