Kenya has turned to the World Health Organisation (WHO) to scale the rollout of the contentious Universal Health Coverage (UHC) programme amid protests from some of the medics under the project. On Wednesday, Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale requested the global health institution for, among other things, financial support directed towards UHC.
In a meeting with WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Duale praised Kenya's efforts in rolling out the programme that has faced financial challenges over the next the last three years.
Through a statement, Duale disclosed the meeting, which happened on the sidelines of the 78th World Health Assembly, with the CS calling for increased financing from WHO. "On the sidelines of the 78th World Health Assembly, themed One World for Health," I held a bilateral meeting with the World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to deepen Kenya's collaboration with WHO and advance our national health priorities," he stated.
