00:11They are able to find people in their households, they are able to find people in their comfort zones
00:16and they are able to explain to them, take notes and explain to them
00:20why it is important to register with the social health authority.

00:30each and every Kenyan must be registered for social health authority.
00:35One thing that we must know is with NHIF we used to have only 20% of the Kenyan population
00:43benefiting from the fund.
00:45However, right now we are targeting 100% of registration because nobody will be left behind.
00:53Even those people who cannot afford, they are going to be catered for by the government.
