Below are the full List of Health Policies In Kenya
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
viii. Research and Development.
