Abstract/ Overview
This policy framework paper is devoted to the health sector and takes as its particular theme that of Investing in Health. It begins with a series of situational analyses which highlight the problems faced by the health sector in Kenya. Next it elaborates general strategies to address the particular problems identified, and finally defines the horizon of the Government's health policies into the next century. The health sector in Kenya is at a crossroads, at a point where a bold and major change in the direction of health policy is to be mapped out. Future investments in the health sector have the potential to promote good health rather than simply treat disease and disability, but they will require a sea-change in the manner in which the Government supports the sector.
