Mr Ager says the Bill will facilitate ring-fencing of funds meant for the health sector.
It proposes establishment of a county health fund whose administrator will be appointed by the Finance CEC.
Due to UHC, hospitals which used to handle 5,000 patients in a day saw the numbers shoot up to almost 11,000.
Kisumu Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o has outlined a raft of measures that his administration will use to address emerging issues which threaten to cripple the health sector in the county.
Prof Nyong’o is hoping to rely on the full implementation of the Kisumu County Health Bill, 2020. But he has stated that the measures will not be effected overnight.
