Kenya: Rising Illness Burden Among Elderly and Children Deepens Kenya's Health Financing Gap
[Capital FM] Nairobi -- Kenya's healthcare financing challenge is increasingly being shaped by the needs of school-going children and older adults, with new expert views suggesting that healthcare products and coverage models have not kept pace with the distinct risks facing the country's youngest and oldest populations.
Kenya's healthcare system is facing a growing financial strain due to the increasing health needs of its elderly population and school-aged children. Experts observe that current healthcare products and coverage strategies are not adequately addressing the unique health risks associated with these demographic groups. This mismatch is exacerbating the existing gap in health financing within the country.
This situation highlights the urgent need for adaptive healthcare policies and financial models to effectively serve vulnerable populations and ensure equitable access to care.
