Short 🧵 to summarise highlights of Hon @JaneRuth_Aceng remarks at #NationalCommunityHealthStrategy launch. “When communities are empowered, they can improve their own health, promote development and therefore economic growth”

[Dillon Mann @dillonmann]

“There is a limit to volunteerism. People need to be motivated to do what they do. And it is not just about payment, it is also about being equipped.”

[Dillon Mann @dillonmann]

“This strategy is an important plan to achieving UHC and our targets under the sustainable development goals. We have costed it at around 5 Billion Shillings per year, and we hope this budget will be approved”

[Dillon Mann @dillonmann]

“Spending on curative medicine is a bottomless pit. We need to emphasise prevention and empower communities to do this”

[Dillon Mann @dillonmann]
