    The Ministry of Health is seeking an additional 6 billion shillings in the supplementary budget to boost the primary health care fund and the emergency and chronic illness fund under the social health authority. Appearing before the National Assembly's health committee, medical services principal secretary Harry Kimtai said the SHA benefits continue to be revised upwards based on the availability of funds. According to Kimtai, a gazette notice has already been submitted to allow the revised oncology benefits from 400,000 to 550,000 shillings to take effect.
