Nyeri Governor Dr Mutahi Kahiga will from Wednesday lead the county in an all-out Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) registration drive.
Dr Kahiga who was addressing health practitioners at the Nyeri Cultural Center yesterday said the county cannot afford to be left out of the new health scheme at a time other counties were well ahead.
The County boss underscored the need for the general public to take advantage of the Government's effort in urging the need for the public to support the new scheme which replaced the former National Health Insurance Fund terming this as the only way out in funding the cost of medical care among both the well off and the low-income earners. "As we stand here today there's no alternative to Social Health Insurance Fund.
As a county, as a country we have no alternative.
