The cost of healthcare has risen by more than three percent in a year, driven by rising fees, drugs prices, insurance premiums, and hospital treatment, making it increasingly difficult for families to afford quality services.
Latest data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that healthcare costs increased by 3.3 percent between January 2024 and January 2025, with a 0.4 percent increase between December 2024 and January 2025.
