President Ruto’s Universal Health Coverage headache

President Ruto’s ambitious  Universal Health Coverage will cost Sh550 billion a year, the Ministry of Health says.

Health spending in Kenya is about Sh247 billion and must be doubled for this to be realised.

This means UHC financing will be Ruto’s new headache.

Affordable healthcare was a key plank in the President’s campaign pledges.   BY THE STAR
