The amount of cash collected from local health facilities across the country tripled to Sh18 billion in the financial year to June 2024, buoyed by a policy shift that allowed county governments to collect money from the institutions beginning July 2023.

A report by the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) reveals that the revenue generated by the counties from the health centres tripled from Sh6 billion in the 2022/23 financial year, boosting the devolved units’ own-source revenue (OSR).
