    "content": "“Every person has the right— (a) to the highest attainable standard of health, which includes the right to health-care services, including reproductive health-care;” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in another section, this Constitution gives a Kenyan citizen the right to take the Government to court if it does perform the functions as enshrined in the Constitution. The new Constitution of Kenya grants rights to the highest attainable standards which includes rights to health-care services including reproductive health-care services. On the other hand, the overall goal in Kenya Vision 2030 is to improve the health outcomes and indicators of Kenyans by shifting focus from curative to preventive and promotive health-care. It also identifies the NHIF as a flagship project for the year 2012. It is on this basis that the Board of Management of NHIF for the last four years have taken major deliberate steps in preparation of the roll-out of outpatient medical health-care service to its members countrywide. The Board of Management took cognisance of the fact that the NHIF has no experience in running and costing of outpatient services. They also noted that it is the riskiest part of health-care insurance and sustainability of the Fund was paramount."
