Over 4000 community health promoters (CHPs) in Kakamega County are to be registered and fully covered under the Social Health Authority (SHA).

Governor Fernandes Barasa also pledged to fully pay their monthly contributions as part of a broader initiative to strengthen primary healthcare services and as an appreciation of their hard work.

The governor committed Thursday while presiding over the official distribution of drugs and non-pharmaceutical supplies to public health facilities in Malava Sub County.

Governor Barasa praised the dedication and sacrifice of CHPs, who he said have remained the heartbeat of healthcare service delivery at the grassroots level.
