Description

The development of the Kenya Health Sector Strategic Plan 2018–2023 is guided by the Constitution of 2010, the Kenya Vision 2030 and the Kenya Health Policy 2014–2030. The
Constitution states that every person has the right to the highest attainable standard of health, while enshrining a system of devolved government to ensure improved service delivery, greater accountability, improved public participation and equity in the distribution of resources. The Kenya Vision 2030 aims to transform Kenya into a globally competitive and prosperous country with a high quality of life by 2030. Improved health is a critical driver in the achievement of this vision. The Kenya Health Policy 2014–2030 aims for a level and distribution of health services commensurate with those of a middle-income country, through the attainment of specific health-related targets.

The Kenya Health Sector Strategic Plan 2018–2023 has been developed using a consultative
approach that involved all the key stakeholders in the health sector, while taking into account all the new actors under the devolved system of government. It includes key recommendations
from the performance reviews of the previous plan, the Kenya Health Sector Strategic and
Investment Plan 2014–2018, and considers emerging health trends and global priorities.

The Strategic Plan provides the health sector with the medium-term focus, objectives and
priorities needed to enable the country to move towards achievement of the health goals
described in the Constitution and the strategic imperatives mentioned above. It provides
a detailed description of the desired health outcomes, the priority health investments needed to achieve the outcomes, the resource implications and financing strategy, and the organizational frameworks required to implement the Plan.
