23.9 million Kenyans have registered for Taifa Care surpassing the 9 million covered under the defunct National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF).
This is according to the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC), which attributes the record-breaking registrations to a heightened registration drive bringing together the national and county governments following the plan’s rollout in October last year.
“The IBEC noted the remarkable registration of over 23.9 million Kenyans onto Taifa Care, up from approximately 9 million members in the defunct NHIF, and commended the Ministry of Health and the Council of Governors (CoG) for their coordinated and collaborative efforts that had not only achieved the milestone registration numbers, but also synergized efforts in the rollout and adoption of Taifa Care countrywide,” the council said in a statement.
