On a holiday gift to hundreds of residents in Butere, Kakamega County, Italian Superstar Elisa De Panicis and her team at Hamptons Hospital have enrolled over 300 low-income families in a fully sponsored free National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) in Ebulanda Sub-Location of Butere Sub County.
Speaking at the event, Elisa said the group plans to sponsor up to 5,000 low-income families by end of 2020, with the goal of later expanding to more people.
"We want to sponsor 5,000 low-income households by the end of 2020. this will later grow to more other people with time," said Elisa.
Residents can now use their new NHIF cards to access free treatment at Hamptons Hospital, with Hamptons Hospital official Pauline Kunguru assuring that those with the cards will be treated for free at the institution.
"We will be treating them for free once they have the cards," said Ms Kunguru.
When locals visit the currently open Hamptons Hospital, they will NOT be required to pay any extra charges by the hospital hence guaranteeing free universal healthcare access.
