President Uhuru Kenyatta arrives in Mombasa County for the Health Sector Intergovernmental Forum on Universal Health Coverage. President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday ordered the scaling of National Hospital Insurance Fund reforms to boost Universal Health Coverage. "Do not delay the reforms with unnecessary debate," Uhuru told lawmakers at the launch of the UHC biometric registration. In February last year, the NHIF was feared to have lost more than Sh10 billion in false medical claims, investigations showed. Also present in Mombasa was Health CS Mutahi Kagwe, who said part of the NHIF reforms will include having county representatives added on the board.
