Health Cabinet Secretary (CS), Dr Deborah Barasa, has said the Ministry of Health (MoH) is taking all the necessary measures, to curb the withdrawal of aid by the United States (US).
Speaking at a press brief in Nairobi, Wednesday, Dr.
Barasa admitted the country's heavy blow, due to the withdrawal of the U.S government foreign aid, which she noted was a boost in the nation's health care system. "As we continue to navigate these complex health challenges, it is now becoming a reality that Taifa Care, that is Universal Health Coverage (UHC), which offers affordable, accessible and quality healthcare to Kenyans, is really paramount at this time," the CS noted.
Dr Barasa emphasized that it is critical as a nation to think of sustainable solutions for Domestic Health Financing, by enhancing the Social Health Authority (SHA), which will be having funding from members' contributions, the National Treasury and other alternative sources of funding.
