Securing Kenya’s future with health insurance for all

December 12 has now been confirmed by the United Nations as the World Universal Health Coverage Day. On this date, President Uhuru Kenyatta outlined his vision for the next four years in which Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is right at the centre.

As a country we are on the cusp of a promising future where no Kenyan will be denied medical care simply because they cannot afford it.  A future where “harambees” for medical expenses will be a thing of the past, and a future where Kenyans would not have to sell their land to pay hospital fees.
