We will therefore ensure an increment in their allocation.' She added 'Community health volunteers are a big part of ensuring we deliver services to Nairobi residents as they engage in tracing and referral of health-related cases to health facilities, conducting home visits, and mobilizing community workers to adopt health promotion among many others. She also promised to arrange for the training and certification of Community Health Volunteers. Kananu affirmed her government's commitment to ensuring that the Act is fully implemented. She pointed out that it has taken the County Government four years of lobbying partners and the County Assembly Health Committee for the bill to be enacted into law. 'Today marks a special day as we officially unveil this document that will work towards improving the health and wellbeing of Nairobi residents which is critical in achieving universal health coverage, and delivery of quality and efficient basic health care services in the community level,' Kananu said. In a speech read on her behalf by the Acting County Secretary Jairus Musumba during the official launch of the Nairobi City County Community Services Health Act 2019 at Ngei Primary School Langata Subcounty, Kananu said Nairobi residents deserve quality services. Acting Nairobi County Governor Ann Kananu has pledged to ensure the protection of health and safety of all community health volunteers and community health services personnel in Nairobi County.
