The government will provide more money to help sick people in Kenya. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki shared this news on Monday. He wants to ensure that everyone can see a doctor when they need one.
People told the government they needed more help paying for special hospital care. The government listened. They will add lots of money to help people with long-lasting illnesses and give extra money to help moms when they have babies.
Kindiki met with many important people at his house in Karen to discuss this plan, called Taifa Care. He promised all Kenyans that the government wants to make healthcare work well for everyone and make it easier for people to pay the right amount of money each month for their healthcare.
Many Kenyans have already joined Taifa Care. About 19.5 million people signed up, and 3.5 million of them paid money each month. Kindiki said they will keep working hard to improve the program, even though it might be hard sometimes.
The government believes healthy people make the country stronger. They think healthcare and education will help make Kenya better. Kindiki also told everyone not to worry about some money from America being taken away. He said Kenya will make sure people can still see doctors and get medicine.
The leaders of different areas in Kenya are working together to fix any problems with Taifa Care and ensure it works well for everyone. Governor Ahmed Abdullahi said that even though there are some problems at first, Taifa Care will help regular Kenyans live better lives.
