President William Ruto has issued a stern warning to Kenyan health facilities, particularly Level 4 hospitals, that continue to charge citizens for outpatient services despite government funding for Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Speaking in Nairobi on Monday, August 4, Ruto vowed swift action against "rogue" facilities.

• The government has allocated Ksh21 billion for healthcare, including Ksh13 billion for Primary Health Care and Ksh8 billion for emergencies.
• President Ruto urged Kenyans to report facilities still charging fees for outpatient services.
• The government is streamlining operations by ending One-Time Password (OTP) authorizations, shifting to biometric health IDs or the Practice 360 app for approvals, with biometric registration available at Level 4, 5, and 6 facilities.
