The Kenya Constitution and Vision 2030 mandate the provision of high-quality healthcare for all citizens. To align with this, the Ministry of Health developed the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) policy for 2020-2030, aimed at significantly improving health outcomes in line with national and global commitments. The UHC policy encompasses equity, efficiency, and people-centeredness, focusing on four key objectives with strategies for implementation. It delineates responsibilities between national and county levels of government and calls for stakeholder involvement. To achieve UHC, investments in infrastructure, manpower, legislation, and technology are essential. The policy emphasizes collaboration between the public and private sectors. Developed through a participatory process, it aims to guide Kenya toward achieving its health goals under the devolved system of government.
