Last week, the Kenya Medical and Practitioners Council, in observance of a directive by the Departmental Committee on Health of the National Assembly, convened a stakeholders' technical working group (TWG) meeting on the review of healthcare professional fees in the country.
The TWG sought to unravel the general cost of healthcare in the country, components of professional fees, cost of medicines and medical devices. The ultimate objective was to devise strategies to lower costs and improve outcomes of healthcare services. This is in line with the increasing financial accessibility of healthcare services in Kenya.
