Over 23 million join Taifa Care as government cleans up system

Kenya’s push toward Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is gathering momentum under the Taifa Care programme. Millions are already benefiting from reforms that are transforming the country’s healthcare landscape. The Social Health Authority has also introduced reforms to speed up payments to hospitals. To lower the cost of specialised care, the Ministry is partnering with leading private hospitals like Aga Khan University Hospital and The Nairobi Hospital. Services such as cancer and kidney treatment will be available at government-subsidised rates with no out-of-pocket expenses.
