LAUNCH OF THE REPORT ON HEALTH SECTOR FINANCING AND OVERSIGHT OF HEALTH BUDGET IN NANDI
The County Government of Nandi strives to ensure adequate budget allocation to the Department of Health and Sanitation. However, in the wake of limited fiscal space, we are working to prioritize initiatives that promote wellness and disease prevention, aiming to reduce healthcare costs and ensure sufficient staffing at health facilities. Additionally, we are investing in local health facilities to discourage bypassing community-level centers, thereby easing congestion at higher-level facilities.
The Deputy Governor H.E Dr Yulita Cheruiyot today presided over the launch of the Nandi County Health Sector Financing and Oversight of Health Funds Report in Chepkemel, Tindiret Ward. This collaborative effort involving the County Government of Nandi, Christian Aid-Kenya and National Taxpayers Association focuses on analyzing health sector financing and budget oversight. The initiative aims to empower communities in Nandi County to actively engage in managing health resources, promoting transparency, accountability, and an inclusive approach to health financing.
The event was attended by the CEC Member for Health and Sanitation Ruth Koech, Tindiret Ward MCA Hon. Paul Birech, Chief Officer for Health and Sanitation Fredrick Kiptum, National Taxpayers Association County Coordinator Irine Otieno, Christian Aid-Kenya representative Bob Kikuyu and other distinguished guests.
