GOVERNOR MUTULA KILONZO JR. SIGNS MUTULACARE IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES.

Makueni Governor on Monday signed Mutulacare implementation guidlines to guide the County Assembly on the implementation of the Mutulacare scheme on the floor of the House.

This scheme is a County-led Universal Health Coverage initiative that will enhance access to Quality healthcare for all residents in the county.

While signing the guidelines, Governor Mutula said Mutulacare will pay for social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) for indigent and vulnerable households to enable access to health care in what was echoed by CECM Health, Joyce Mutua.

Beneficiaries will receive comprehensive heathcare including inpatient and outpatient services, dental and optical care, chronic illness management. They will also receive emergency treatment, including ambulance evacuations in the scheme which targets to cover over 50 per cent of Makueni residents.

Cabinet approved it last week.

CECMs Finance Damaris Kavoi, Devolution, Nicholas Nzioka and Lands, Paul Musila, among others.
