At least  23.9 million Kenyans have registered for Taifa Care surpassing the 9 million covered under the defunct National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF).

This is according to the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC), which attributes the record-breaking registrations to a heightened registration drive bringing together the national and county governments following the plan’s rollout in October last year.
