Kakamega County Health Sector Strategic and Investment Plan 2019

Abstract

This is the second five-year County Health Sector Strategic and Investment Plan 2018-2023 for Kakamega County. It outlines the vision and strategies for the Department towards attaining the goal of attaining equitable, affordable, accessible and quality health care for all. Development of this Plan was informed by findings of the End Term Evaluation of the CHSSIP 2013-2017. It is anchored on the WHO health system building blocks and is expected to contribute to the achievement of Universal Health Coverage by 2022 and contribute to realization of Kenya’s Vision 2030. This CHSSIP envisions attainment of Universal Health Coverage for all residents by 2022. To this end, the Plan outlines various strategies to address existing and emerging health problems and challenges. Implementation of UHC to scale is aimed at improving access to health services and specifically to protect vulnerable households from catastrophic health expenditure. The Plan also prioritizes scale up of KEPH services at all levels to improve uptake and access to health services. This will be achieved through implementation of the objectives, priorities and targets specific to service orientations adopted in this plan. This Plan aims to accelerate and sustain gains realized and reverse negative health performance trends observed during implementation of CHSSIP 2013-2017. In this period, the sector recorded remarkable achievements in provision of physical infrastructure, availability of health products and technologies, capacity building of health care workers, investment in preventive and promotive health services and provision of ambulance services.
