“Africa now finds itself at a crossroads. The health financing landscape has shifted dramatically. To attract grant funding for health, we will have to make a very strong case, and that means contributing more from our own resources, and relentlessly focusing on value for money. We should not be daunted by this. The work to build our continent, including our health, cannot be outsourced to anyone else. Current events are therefore an invitation for us to take full ownership of our challenges, and find alternative ways of addressing them.” President Kagame.
This afternoon in Addis Ababa, President Kagame, who is also the AU Champion on Domestic Health Financing, chaired a High-Level Meeting on Domestic Health Financing organized in collaboration with the African Union Commission, Africa CDC and AUDA-NEPAD.

2. Sec31 of the Income Tax Act on 15.0% Insurance Relief does apply to deductions made towards SHIF. The authority is, however, advising that contributors seek concurrence from KRA on this
