The government has reaffirmed its commitment to Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through TAIFA Care, a transformative healthcare scheme that has now enrolled 24 million Kenyans.
Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Health Aden Duale speaking at his first official meeting with the Social Health Authority Board, reaffirmed the government's commitment to delivering quality, accessible healthcare to every Kenyan.
He stated that 5.4 million Kenyans have already accessed vital health services through the Primary Healthcare Fund, which is fully funded by the government and allows access to dispensaries, health centers, and Level 2 to 4 health facilities without any cost to patients. "This fund is budgeted, appropriated by Parliament, and paid to the Ministry of Health to ensure that ordinary Kenyans receive the healthcare they need without paying from their pockets," assured Duale.
To date, he announced that the government has disbursed Sh551.3 billion to 7,446 accredited facilities across the country.
