Abstract/ Overview
UHC is an important pillar with the aim of transforming the country's health sector for enhanced service delivery. A productive population is an impetus for greater economic development and explains why Kenya is investing in UHC to ensure its people remain healthy. Besides health financing, UHC implies putting in place efficient health service delivery systems, adequate health facilities and human resources, information systems, good governance and enabling legislation. This policy embraces the principles of equity, people centredness, efficiency, social solidarity and a multi-sectoral approach. It focuses on four objectives and their related strategies to support attainment of the Government's goal in health. It is cognizant of the functional responsibilities between the National and County levels of Government with their respective accountability mechanisms and frameworks. It is envisaged that the national and county Governments will benefit from this policy as a guide for planning and budgeting for healthcare services at all levels of care. The detailed strategies and programme packages will be elaborated in specific strategic and investment implementation plans. I therefore call for the need to raise awareness to ensure that the objectives of this policy are well understood and fully owned by the various stakeholders and implementing partners.
