Kenya allocated 69.3 billion shillings to launch Taifa Care as part of its Universal Health Coverage initiative. Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale announced 10 billion shillings went to the Primary Health Care Fund, while 59.3 billion shillings supported the Social Health Insurance Fund. The government set aside 6.1 billion shillings for healthcare workers and 1.75 billion shillings to clear doctor arrears under the Return to Work Formula.
Additional funding covers 9.9 billion shillings for medical interns at faith-based facilities and 3.2 billion shillings for Community Health Promoters. Duale requested 5.4 billion shillings through supplementary budget measures to settle debts below 10 million shillings owed to the former National Health Insurance Fund. Kenya Medical Supplies Agency received funds to raise its order fill rate to 70 percent by December 2025.
The ministry digitized 3,386 health facilities out of 6,500 targets while onboarding 26.5 million citizens onto the Social Health Authority platform. A health response unit with relationship managers assists faith-based organizations transitioning into the Taifa Care system. The government promised equipment to help digitize faith-based medical centers across the country.
