Kenya Health Policy 2014–2030.

The Kenya Health Policy 2014−2030 is a national policy whose goal is to attain the highest possible standard of health in a responsive manner. This goal will be achieved by supporting equitable, affordable, and high-quality health and related services at the highest attainable standards for all Kenyans. The sector will be guided by the primary healthcare approach which remains the most efficient and cost-effective way to organize a health system. The policy will seek to ensure a significant reduction in the general ill health in the Kenyan population by achieving reductions in deaths due to communicable diseases by at least 48 per cent and reducing deaths due to non-communicable conditions and injuries to below levels of public health importance without losing focus on emerging conditions.
To work towards sustainable development through the prism of human health, the key areas of intervention will be access to care, quality of care, and demand for care. The investments in these areas will focus on: health financing, health leadership, health products & technologies, health information, health workforce, service delivery systems, health infrastructure, and research & development.
To this end, there are eight key action areas, where investments will need to be made to facilitate the attainment of the policy objectives as follows: i. Organisation of Service Delivery; ii. Health Leadership and Governance; iii. Health Workforce; iv. Health Financing; v. Health Products and Technologies; vi. Health Information; vii. Health Infrastructure; and viii. Research and Development.
Regarding governance, the policy implementation process will adopt a multisectoral approach involving different stakeholders-state actors (government ministries and agencies) at the national and county levels; clients/consumers (individuals, households, communities); regulatory bodies; professional associations; health workers unions; non-state actors (civil society organisations [CSOs], FBOs/nongovernmental organisations [NGOs], the private sector); and development partners. The implementation of this policy will be tracked using a set of financial and non-financial targets and indicators.
