COUNTY STAFF SENSITISED ON JUBILEE/TRANSNEP HEALTH INSURANCE OPERATIONS

The County Government of Kakamega, through the Department of Public Service and Administration, today conducted a capacity-building and sensitization forum for County staff on the operationalization of the Jubilee/TRANSNEP health insurance policy.
