President Ruto's 'mambo matatu' approach to new health plan

According to the Ruto, all health centres will also have their own funds, and will not be shared with other facilities.

He stated that unlike the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), the UHC monthly contributions will squarely depend on one's income, adding that those with no pay will be treated at any government hospital at no cost.

"No Kenyan will be left behind in this agenda. The cards we are going to issue will not have a limit, and if the limit is reached, then the Chronic Illness Fund will kick in and one will be attended to," Ruto assured.

He made the declarations, a day after assenting to four health bills aimed at revamping his campaign pledges.
