EIGHT Hospital Owners, KMPDC Officer Charged With SHA Fraud
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has accepted charges against multiple hospital owners, directors, and a regulatory officer for allegedly fraudulent registration and payment claims involving the Social Health Authority (SHA).
In a statement issued Wednesday evening, the ODPP stated that it reviewed inquiry files filed by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) between January 28 and February 24.
They discovered enough evidence to prosecute many persons and health facilities suspected of illegally enrolling in institutions, operating without licenses, and fraudulently getting funds from the state health insurer.
Mohammed Kulow Ali and Hassan Adan Ibrahim, directors of Danaba Care Hospital, will be charged with conspiring to deceive and operating an unauthorized health facility.
The two are also named as directors of Adfaal Kids Care Medical Centre, where Mohamed Mohamud Sheikh, Ali Ahmed Adan, and Mohamednoor Ismael Omar have all been recommended for prosecution for conspiracy to defraud, operating an unlicensed facility, and acquiring proceeds of crime.
Former directors of Kamishawa Medical Centre, Kamsia Hassan Kala and Hawa Alinoor Malo, are expected to face charges of conspiracy to defraud and other connected offences involving fraudulent registration and payments.
Ibrahim Rashid and Ahmed Mohamud Adan, proprietors of Kaafi Nursing Home, will face charges of acquiring money under false pretences and operating an unauthorized facility.
Three proprietors of Mama Nerbeel Nursing Home – Naima Sheikh Ali, Abdihakim Sheikh Ali and Adan Abdikhaliq Abdullah – have also been approved for prosecution on charges of obtaining money by false pretences and running an unlicensed health facility.
Ali Edin Ibrahim, the owner of Alati Nursing Home, will face similar charges, with the facility also named separately in the case.
Ismail Omar Mohammed, proprietor of Julun Nursing Home, and the institution itself will likewise face charges of obtaining money by false pretences and operating without the required licence.
