President William Ruto has announced changes to the medical treatment schemes for police officers and Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) servicemen, aimed at improving their welfare.
Speaking at State House, Nairobi, during the presentation of the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) Exit Report, Ruto stated that officers seeking medical treatment will no longer be restricted to specific hospitals across the country.
As part of the new changes, officers will now be able to access treatment at facilities of their choice under the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) program. "Under the expanded Universal Healthcare Coverage in the Taifa Care program, access to medical care will no longer be limited to certain identified hospitals," Ruto announced.
