Having served as th health minister for kenya in the Kibaki government, the govoernor of the great county of Kisumu has a keen intrest in helth. In professor Nyong’o’s Manifesto, Health was given top priority.
speaking about the Universal healthcare system, Prof. Anyang’ Nyong’o said that he 1st had the idea of universal healthcare while serving as the minister but its implementation failed as it faced opposition. he couldnt hide his joy and optimism that universal healthcare was going to have a great start and eventually get to the entire country.
Universal healthcare seeks to partner with NHIF to ensure that the people of kisumu county worry about other things other than medical bills. in the governor’s words, poverty should not be a reason for not getting quality medical attention. The program also seeks to bring health services as close as possible to the people. It projects that by the year 2022 Its scope will have been implemented in totality.
we hope that all stakeholders including the national government will hold hands to see that universal healthcare is implemented in its totality.
