The National Treasury has allocated funds for a dedicated medical insurance scheme for Community Health Promoters (CHPs), marking the first time such a scheme will be funded through the national budget.

The Treasury has proposed Sh396 million for CHP health insurance in the financial year starting in July, a provision that was not included in previous budgets.
