Kakamega County Sector Plan for Health Services 2023-2032

Abstract

This Health Sector plan provides a framework for implementation of strategies aimed at improving the health status of the Kenyan people. The Sector Plan is aligned with the Kenya Vision 2030 blueprint, the Kenya Health Policy (2014-2030) and SDGs). The Constitution of Kenya places a greater emphasis on the right to health. Article 43 of the Constitution states that, “every person has a right to the highest attainable standard of health, including sexual reproductive health” thus raising expectations from the citizens regarding healthcare. With the devolution of the health service delivery to the Counties, it is envisaged that service delivery for the poor, under-served populations and accountability will improve. The Health sector is one of the departments in Kakamega County aimed at improving the quality of health services. The background information is key and is well outlined in this plan enumerating the composition and mandate of the Health Sector. The preparation of the plan is well anchored on several policy documents which also provide the procedure to be followed in the preparation process.
