No person living with Type 1 Diabetes should beg for insulin or glucose strips.Delays and stock-outs under SHA put lives at risk.Insulin is not optional it is life-saving.UHC must mean protection,not paperwork.

We urge the Government of Kenya to zerorate taxes on insulin.
For people with Type 1 diabetes, insulin is life,without it,they cannot survive.
High costs are putting lives at risk.We need urgent action to make insulin affordable and accessible for all.

Access to diabetes technology should be equitable!
With over 821,000 Kenyans affected and 23,000 living with Type 1 diabetes, access to affordable tech like Continuous Glucose Monitoring - CGM is crucial. Together with @FINDdx we’re advancing equitable, data-driven diabetes care
Insulin is not a luxury. It’rs life support. No one should have to ration their survival. Affordable care is a right, not a privilege.
