DAY 3 OF MAKUENI UHC MASS REGISTRATION REACHES KATHONZWENI AND KITISE.

The Department of Health on Day 3 of the Makueni Universal Health Coverage (UHC) mass registration exercise extended services to Kanzokea, Ikasu, Kimundi and Kithuki centres, recording an impressive turnout of residents seeking enrollment.

The exercise, anchored under the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF), aims at ensuring all residents are covered under the national health insurance framework while benefiting from the County Government’s premium support program for low-income households.

Residents in Kitise/Kithuki and Kathonzweni wards lauded the initiative, terming it a major relief in reducing out-of-pocket medical expenses.

Health Promotion Director David Kiuluku, who led the exercise in the two wards on Thursday, reiterated the government’s commitment to achieving universal access to quality and affordable healthcare as part of Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr’s development agenda.

The mass registration continues across all wards, targeting 200,000 residents.
