Kenya Association of Healthcare Support Assistants

Belonging to KAHSA offers numerous benefits that outweigh the drawbacks of working independently as a Health Care Assistant (HSA). In the meeting, the benefits of association membership were emphasized by the officials present.

Firstly, associations advocate for their members' interests, representing their collective voice on important issues, influencing policy decisions, and providing a platform to address common challenges.

Secondly, association membership enhances professional credibility, as it demonstrates a commitment to professional development and adherence to industry standards.

Thirdly, in the near future, HSAs will not be able to legally without licences obtained through their association. This will be a government requirement and HSAs were advised on how to pursue registration and licensure.
