Conducted in <a href=\"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/countries\/kenya\/\">Kenya<\/a>, this research examines the intricate relationship between funding, accountability, and service delivery within the country\u2019s UHC pilot program. Through a qualitative approach involving interviews and focus groups, the authors investigate how planning, budgeting, and financial controls impact health outcomes at the county level.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"1305\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">By uncovering the practical challenges and opportunities within Kenya\u2019s public financial management (PFM) framework, the study provides valuable insights for policymakers, development partners, and health administrators. The findings emphasise that sustainable UHC depends not only on resource availability but also on efficient and transparent financial systems. Ultimately, this work underscores the importance of aligning fiscal policies with health sector goals to achieve equitable and lasting health reforms.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The study \u201cSustainability starts with spending: public financial management lessons from Kenya\u2019s universal health care pilot\u201d by Alex Olateju Adjagba, James Odhiambo Oguta, Catherine Akoth, Solomon Kimutai Toweet, Peter Okoth, and Debra Jackson, published in BMC Health Services Research, explores how financial management practices influence the effectiveness and sustainability of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) initiatives&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":559,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[],"tags":[131],"document_type":[2321],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documents\/987787781"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documents"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/documents"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/559"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=987787781"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documents\/987787781\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":987787814,"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documents\/987787781\/revisions\/987787814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=987787781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=987787781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=987787781"},{"taxonomy":"document_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document_type?post=987787781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
