President William Ruto is at Uhuru Park for the official flag-off of Community Health Promoters kits.
The President is accompanied by his deputy Rigathi Gachagua and Health CS Susan Nakhumicha.
Also present are representatives from the World Health Organisation, Unicef, counties and other partners in the health sector.
The 100,000 kits to be used by Community Health Promoters will be essential tools for household screening.
The kits aim to empower and equip CHPs with essential tools to enhance healthcare access and promote healthier communities to achieve this goal.
The 100,000 CHPs who have already been trained will be unveiled on Mashujaa Day celebrations in October.
According to Nakhumicha, the training has been done together with other partners and with CoG.
"The county governments did the name of the CHP and the identification so we are happy that we are going to be launching on October 20,” the CS said at a past event.
The theme for this year's Mashujaa Day celebrations is Universal Health Care.
The celebrations will start with the UHC week which will run for a week before Mashujaa Day.
Ruto said the CHPs will play a critical role in decongesting hospitals in the country noting that minor ailments will be diagnosed and treated at the community level.
