Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>President William Ruto has said the government is committed to the successful delivery of Universal Health Care.<\/p>\n

He added that the country will prioritize preventive healthcare which is anchored on community health workers, NHIF reform and provision of medical supplies and equipment to deliver UHC.<\/p>\n

“There have been two failed attempts to implement universal healthcare, but this time round, we are determined to achieve it successfully. Preventive care will make it possible to deal with health issues early at the community level, which will ease crowding at hospitals,” Ruto said.<\/p>\n

The President spoke on Wednesday when he met Global Fund Executive Director Peter Sands at State House Nairobi.<\/p>\n

Ruto said the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) must improve its service delivery.<\/p>\n

“Kemsa is an integral part of the equation. They must play their rightful role. The agency has had issues, but we are sorting it out,” the President added.<\/p>\n

Ruto said the government will weed out corruption and predators at the NHIF to make it more efficient.<\/p>\n

Sands said Kenya has \u201ca fantastic relationship\u201d with the Global Fund. He commended Ruto for the recent decisive action to clean up Kemsa.<\/p>\n

He said Global Fund supports the government\u2019s universal healthcare agenda and is ready to offer technical expertise.<\/p>\n
