EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The State Departments for Medical services(SDMS) and Public Health and Professional Standards
(SDPHPS) both domiciled in the Ministry of Health (MOH) were established through the Executive
Order No. 1 of 2023 and they play a crucial role in the Kenyan health sector.
The Health sector is responsible for developing, implementing, and monitoring policies related to
specialized medical services including population health, research and innovation, public health,
sanitation, preventive and promotive health services, professional standards, health education
management, food quality, hygiene and nutrition, quarantine administration, radiation, control and
management of tuberculosis and malaria. Additionally, the Sector provides strategic leadership and
support to health professional bodies, aiming to maintain professional standards and promote
excellence in healthcare practice.
The State Department of Medical Services comprises of four programmes namely, National Referral
and Specialized Services, Curative and Reproductive Maternal Neonatal Child and Adolescent
(RMNCAH), Health Research and Innovation, and Administrative Support Services. The SDPHPS on
the other hand operates through four budgetary programs: Preventive and Promotive Health, Health
Resource Development and Innovation, Health Policy, Standards and Regulations, and General
Administration.
The sector priorities are aligned with the Kenya Constitution, Vision 2030, Kenya Health Policy,
Bottom-up economic Transformation Agenda, the UHC Policy, Fourth Medium Term Plan (2023-
2027), Post-COVID19 Economic Recovery Strategy (PC-ERS) and the various regional and
international obligations including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Africa Union
Agenda 2063.
Over the review period, the budgetary allocation for the Sector increased from Kshs.120.8 billion in
2020/21 FY to Kshs.129.8 billion in 2021/22 FY but then dipped to Kshs. 116.4 billion in 2022/23 FY.
The actual expenditure for the period was Kshs.105.5 billion, Kshs.109.4 billion and Kshs.98.7 billion
for 2020/21, 2021/22 and 2022/2023 financial years respectively, translating to absorption rates of
87.5%, 84.3% and 84.8% over the same period. The resources were utilized to achieve the following:
Reduction of Prevalence of HIV from 4.3% in 2020 to 3.7 in 2022; new HIV infections from 32,027
to 22, 154; and AIDS related mortality from 19,486 to 18,473 during the same period. Kenya made
strident efforts to combat Drug-Sensitive tuberculosis (DSTB), Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis
(MRTB) and malaria by developing new TB drugs, optimization of the existing ones, production of
244,927 units of bleach (TBCide) and developing, piloting and adopting a new malaria vaccine
The SDMS established a diagnostic and reporting centre at KNH in the FY 2020/21, constructed and
operationalized an Oxygen plant with a capacity to produce 1,500 litres of oxygen per minute at Mwai
Kibaki Hospital and development and equiping the Chandaria Cancer and Chronic Diseases Centre
(CCCDC) at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH). To enhance capacity for cancer detection,
treatment and care, the State Department established an Integrated Molecular Imaging Center (IMIC)
and IMIC Hospitality Centre at KUTRRH and established. These interventions will enhance service
7
delivery at level-6 facilities in the country to cater for the increased demand for referral services. The
Department ramped efforts to for Covid-19 vaccination with 31.9% of adult population being fully
vaccinated by the end of the review period.
Establishment and equipping of the East Africa Kidney Institute (EAKI) is ongoing with construction
works at 84% completion as of 30th June 2023 and the construction of a National Commodity storage
center at KEMSA is at 88% completion. The Managed Equipment System(MES) project has continued
to be of immense benefit to the supported hospitals and the availability of appropriate medical
equipment in 121 hospitals across all the 47 counties. MES project has enhanced equity of health care
especially in availability of surgical operation, dialysis therapy, screening of cancers, and radiological
diagnoses.
SDMS has continued to invest in Health Products and Technologies (HPTs) through implementing and
utilizing KEMSA-LMIS 3, enabling KEMSA to fulfil and efficiently deliver essential health products
and technologies. All essential HPT lists were reviewed to increase the scope and depth of coverage
by increasing the number of products available and the level of care decentralized to improve accessed
to UHC. The National Medicines and Therapeutics Committee was operationalized to enhance rational
use of Medicines in the Country. Subsequently, 47 counties also formed and operationalized their
County MTCs.
In addition, a nationwide health facility census conducted in FY2022/23, will inform the roll out of
primary healthcare networks and guide future plans, policies, and budgets.
During the MTEF period 2020/21 to 2022/23, the sector faced some emerging issues and challenges
which impacted negatively on the achievement of the planned outputs and health outcomes. These
include: emerging and re-emerging diseases due to increases cross-border travel, especially after
relaxation of international travel during COVID 19 period; re-emergence of neglected tropical diseases
such as kala azar and elephantiasis among others; and the rise in Non-Communicable Diseases
(NCD)incidences; reduction in Donor funding to support the health sector and the tightening fiscal
space has greatly impacted implementation of programmes, activities and projects. Other obstacles
include existing gaps in infrastructure and human capacity, inadequate legal and policy frameworks
for sector regulation, insufficient funding, climate change concerns, and the prioritization of pending
bills over development resources in sector allocations.
Similar to other countries in the region, Kenya is currently grappling with a human resource crisis
within the public health sector due to labor emigration. Many professionals are seeking better
employment opportunities in developed nations.
To mitigate these challenges, it is crucial to formulate and implement strategies that address labor
retention, attract talent, and provide incentives for professionals to remain within the country.
Additionally, efforts must be made to enhance the capacity of local health institutions and improve
working conditions to retain skilled personnel and ensure quality service provision.
To overcome some of the implementation challenges experienced in previous financial years, the
Sector will fast track review and strengthening of the legal, policy framework and operations to
improve efficiency. It will also strengthen collaboration with various stakeholders including
development partners and the private sector. It shall also improve research, development and
8
innovation so as to enhance efficiency, effectiveness and productivity. The sector will also invest in
emergency preparedness and response to secure the health and lives of Kenyans. In conclusion, the
Sector will strengthen its efforts towards realizing Universal Health Coverage.
Over the MTEF period 2024/2025 – 2026/2027, the sector will implement eight (8) programmes; four
by each State Department as outlined in paragraph 3 above.
Health research and innovation is key to unlock bottlenecks experienced in the health sector and
develop capacity to develop solutions for current and emerging health issues. To achieve this, the sector
will provide end to end digital solutions for health facilities, develop and implement a national
information exchange and put in place a comprehensive health information management system. The
sector will also establish partnerships and collaboration in order to improve research capacity, acquire
technologies for manufacturing of HPTs and achieve technology transfer.
The sector will prioritize Digitization of Health services. This will increase efficiency, transparency,
and ensure seamless service delivery between providers. It will also enhance claims management at
health facilities and commodity management through provision of end-to-end supply chain
management. It will also collaborate with the county governments to ensure retention of funds
collected at health facility level for improvement of the facility operations. In partnership with the
county governments, the sector will establish and operationalize Primary Care Networks in the
counties that will offer effective services to the community, through proper referrals and engagement
of multidisciplinary teams at community level. County governments, the National Treasury and the
State Department will consider ring-fencing funds for essential medicines and supplies.
The sector will ensure that more focus is put on local manufacturing of Health products and
technologies to enable commodity security and enhance self-reliance. Achievement of Universal
Health Coverage will be a core theme during the MTEF period to ensure achievement of the objectives
of BETA, Kenya Health Policy and international commitments on health.
The Sector has set programme targets for the years 2024/25, 2025/26, and 2026/27, which contribute
to the achievement of strategic objectives.
To implement these programmes, the sector requires KSh. 1,240 billion, with KSh. 371.9 billion for
FY 2024/25, KSh. 411.4 billion for FY 2025/26, and KSh. 456.8 billion for FY 2026/27. Specifically,
a total of KSh. 131.4 billion, KSh. 148.9 billion, and KSh. 168.3 billion will be needed for recurrent
expenditure in the financial years 2024/25, 2025/26 and 2026/27 respectively. Additionally, for
development expenditure, a total of KSh. 204.4 billion, KSh. 262.4 million, and KSh. 288.4 billion
will be necessary in the financial years 2024/25, 2025/26 and 2026/27, respectively, over the three-
year period.
However, it is important to note that the sector allocations for the FY 2024/25 and the Medium Term
are lower than the projected requirements, resulting to shortfall of KSh. 224.3 billion, KSh. 255.0
billion and KSh. 295.9 billion respectively.
In Conclusion the MTEF report for the Health Sector highlights the Ministry’s strategic direction,
performance objectives, and budgetary priorities for the coming years. By focusing on digitization of
health facilities, research and innovation, improving access to specialized health services while
9
offering financial protection to vulnerable members of the community, local manufacturing of health
products, strengthening public health infrastructure, disease prevention, and professional standards,
the department aims to improve the overall health and well-being of the community while ensuring
regulatory compliance and maintaining high-quality healthcare services.

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
The Government has committed to improve the quality of life for all Kenyans by ensuring Equitable,
Accessible, Affordable and Quality Health Care of the Highest Standard under the social pillar.
This commitment mandates the National Government to provide leadership on health policies and
standards, technical assistance and capacity building. Through the Bottom-Up Economic
Transformation Agenda (BETA) and in an effort to deliver Universal Health Coverage, the government
in collaboration with County Governments and key stakeholders in the spirit of Afya Bora Mashinani
will continue to prioritize Kenya Vision 2030 Flagship Projects for the Health Sector as outlined in
Fourth Medium Term Plan (2023 -2027). These include: Social Health Protection; Community Health
High Impact intervention; Family Health & Strategic Public Health Programme; National Health
Institutions; Local Manufacture of Life-Saving Essential Health Products and Diagnostics; Human
Resources for Health; Health infrastructure and Medical Tourism.
Executive Order No. 1/2023 reorganized the Health Sector into two State Departments, namely the
State Department for Medical Services and the State Department for Public Health and Professional
Standards. Subsequently, Executive Order No. 2 of 2023 enumerated the functions and institutions
falling under each State Department.
The State Department of Medical Services comprises of four (4) programmes namely, (i) National
Referral and Specialized Services; (ii) Curative and Reproductive Maternal Neonatal Child and
Adolescent (RMNCAH) (iii) Health Research and innovation and (iv) Administrative Support
Services. The Programmes ensure that the State Department carries out its mandate as per the Fourth
Schedule of the Constitution namely, health policy, health regulation, national referral facilities,
capacity building, and technical assistance to the counties.
The State Department for Public Health and Professional Standards is made up of four (4) programmes
namely, (i) Preventive and Promotive services, (ii)Health Resource, Development and Innovation, (iii)
General Administration Planning and Support Services and (iv) Health Policies Standard and
Regulations. The programmes will ensure that quality healthcare services are guaranteed through the
provision of policies on healthcare, standards, human resource development, and public health
standards and sanitation management. It also provides strategic leadership and support to all health
professional bodies, development of a framework to ensure the sharing of professional experiences
and embedding in future clinical practice.
The healthcare sector is labor intensive and human resources represent the most important input into
the provision of healthcare, as well as the largest proportion of healthcare expenditure. Strengthening
the health workforce through policy and planning will help address the balance between supply and
11
demand for healthcare workers; ensure equitable distribution; improve quality; and enhance
the use of data and evidence to improve health and health workforce outcomes. Kenya is
currently experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and an unbalanced distribution of health
personnel between and within counties mainly due to fiscal restraints on hiring within the public sector
due to policies that cap salaries and freeze hiring.
The Government is committed and determined to realize the constitutional right to health in the
shortest time possible by delivering a Universal Health Coverage (UHC) system built on three pillars
as follows:
Publicly financed primary healthcare (preventive, promotive, outpatient & basic
diagnostic services), that gives patients a choice between public, faith based and private
providers, based on a regulated tariff;
Universal seamless social health insurance through NHIF comprising a mandatory
national contributions and private insurance as complementary covers; and
National fund for chronic and catastrophic illness and injury costs not covered (or with very
restrictive cover) by insurance (cancer, diabetes, strokes & accident rehabilitation, pandemics)
to be funded by combination of insurance levy and Government.
This Report presents an analysis of the Health Sector performance and achievements for the period
2020/21 to 2022/23, the priorities and resource requirements for the period 2024/25 to 2026/27, cross
sector linkages, emerging issues, challenges, and recommendations. The report further outlines the

CHAPTER TWO: PERFORMANCE REVIEW FY 2020/21-2022/23
This Chapter details the Sector performance for FY 2020/21-2022/23 and an analysis of the previous
budgetary allocations, actual expenditures and achievement of programme outputs. The Ministry of
Health is mandated to support the attainment of the health goals of the people of Kenya through
implementing priority interventions. In order to achieve these priorities, the Sector is expected to
formulate a credible budget that in the long-term guarantees efficiency and effectiveness in public
spending.
a) NASCOP
The prevalence and incidence of HIV in Kenya is reported at 4.3% and 0.59% respectively as at 2021,
attributed in part to significant behavioral change and increased access to Anti -Retroviral Treatment
(ART’s). As of December 2022, approximately 1,377,252 people were living with HIV, with
1,330,565 currently on ART, indicating a robust treatment coverage of 96.61%, a noticeable
improvement from 81.52% in 2020.
HIV-targeted testing of High-risk populations during the FY 2022/2023 was set at 7,632,170, however
only 4,241,677 were reached, achieving roughly 55.6% of the target. This shortfall occurred primarily
due to delays in the procurement and distribution of HIV rapid test kits to service delivery locations.
An impressive 98% of pregnant women in 2022, accessed antenatal care (ANC). However, only 15%
initiated their first ANC visit during the first trimester, and HIV status knowledge decreased from 80%
during ANC to 15% at six weeks post-natal. Maternal ART coverage reached 89.56%, though it lagged
in ASAL regions. The estimated HIV Mother to Child Transmission (MTCT) rate for 2023 is 8.6%,
with a case rate of 1,359 per 100,000 individuals. New infections in children now occur predominantly
during the extended breastfeeding period, attributed to treatment interruptions among Women Living
with HIV (WLHIV) (47%) and incident infections among previously HIV-negative women (23%).
The National AIDS Control Council continued to implement a multisectoral and multifaceted HIV
response to accelerate the achievement of Universal Health Coverage and greater program impact. The
achievements for the period under review is highlighted in the summary table showing the performance
of the HIV program from 2020 to 2022.

Mid-Term Review of the HIV Programme in Kenya marked a significant milestone in the ongoing
efforts to combat the HIV epidemic within the country. The review process provided valuable insights
into the progress, challenges, and opportunities that shape the country’s journey towards achieving
KASF II objectives.
The key HIV-related policy documents developed in the period under review included: Costing HIV
prevention in Kenya, 47 County Profiles, 2022 World AIDS Day Progress Report, 2023 HIV
Estimates, the Actuarial Analysis of Integrating HIV treatment within the NHIF Benefit Package,
Epidemic Appraisal Report, HIV Implementation and Financing Proto-type bill, and the Health Sector
Transition Road map,2022.
Multisectoral County HIV Coordination forums were operationalized in all 47 Counties to support
development of HIV related policies as well as monitor and review progress on the implementation of
the Kenya AIDS Strategic Framework II and the County AIDS Implementation Plans. In FY 2021/22
10 counties were supported to ensure mainstreaming of HIV programs in county work plans and
budgets, thus strengthening Domestic Resource Mobilization (DRM) process.
One of the HIV prevention strategies is the human-centered design approach which allows
communities to identify and design their own interventions. Some of the achievements for the period
under review include the utilization of the Communities of practice (CoPs) such as engagement of
male champions who distributed 5,871,526 condoms in non-health settings in 2022/23. The numbers
dropped from 6,451,258 in 2021/22 due to national and global supply chain challenges of essential
commodities including condoms. For effective distribution of condoms, 168 condom dispensers
against a target of 205 were procured and installed in institutions of higher learning in FY 2022/23.
The institution sustained messaging on HIV prevention and treatment as well as universal health
coverage in the context of HIV with over 82,433,925 million people reached against a target of 25
million through the triple threat initiative, sensitization through PLHIV networks and interpersonal
engagement with fisherfolk and other vulnerable populations, Advocacy on COVID-19 vaccination,
engagement of community gate keepers and opinion leaders, Documentary on Universal Health
Coverage in the context of HIV and AIDS (media reports indicated that over 3,999,000 people
reached).
28
Sub-Programme 1.2 Non-Communicable Diseases Prevention and Control
Non Communicable Diseases (NCD’s) accounted for 41% of the deaths in 2021/22, compared to
43.5% in 2020/2021.
In NCD data management, an electronic patient health records system for diabetes and hypertension
was rolled out in 98 health facilities. This has enhanced reporting of diabetes and hypertension
indicators. Pilot projects included integration of NCD care in Primary health level were conducted
during this period in Busia, Trans Nzoia and Makueni Counties that saw improved health outcomes
such as increasing control rate of hypertension from 38% FY 2021/22 to 55% FY 2022/23.
In Kenya, cancer is the second leading cause of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) after
cardiovascular diseases. The annual incidence of cancer is increasing and was reported as 42,116 cases
in 2020. The overall five-year cancer prevalence rate is 82,620 (54,156 cases among women and
28,464 cases among men). In the year 2022/23 the Ministry developed and launched its third National
Cancer Control Plan 2023-2027 and a Cancer Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEAL)
Framework for 2023-2027, and launched the Garissa Comprehensive Regional Cancer Centre.
In FY 2022/23 over 6,000 primary health workers were trained on early cancer diagnosis through e-
learning platforms on the MOH Virtual Academy and another 6,500 primary health workers on cervical
and breast cancer screening and treatment of precancerous lesions across the 47 counties. 257
community health promoters in 10 counties were trained in cancer screening. Through support from
partners 150 thermal ablation devices were distributed in 22 counties. The proportion of women
screened for cervical cancer against the set target for the year nationally reduced from 42.8% in
2021/22 to 30.9% in 2022/23. There was a significant increase in outpatient visits at public cancer
centers from 75,928 in 2020/2021 to 105,760 in 2021/2022 and 115,627 in 2022/2023 where 23
essential anticancer medicines continued to be provided at no cost to the patients through a conditional
grant through KEMSA.
c) Geriatric Medicine
Since the launch of the Healthy Aging and Older Persons Strategy (2022-2026) in 2022, fifteen Health
care providers have been trained on Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) in Siaya County.
There has been a 1.9% decrease in the number of road traffic fatalities between 2021/22 (4723) and
2022/23 (4634). Between 2021/22 and 2022/23, 270 healthcare workers were trained on trauma and
injury management. For the FY 2022/2023, 200 Community Health Promoters (CHP’s) and other
29
community members such as boda boda riders were trained on prevention of injuries and basic first
aid in Nairobi and Nakuru counties.
e) Mental Health
The Mental Health Division managed to train 1,591 healthcare workers against a target of 1000 during
the FY 2022/2023. An achievement of 159% due to integration of mental health and psychosocial
support training in Covid 19 response and Ebola Preparedness. A mental health training manual was
developed to train the Community Health Promoters (CHP’s) and 75 CHP’s were trained against a
targeted 700 due to inadequate funding. Plans are underway to integrate mental health into primary
healthcare and this will enhance scale up.
The Kenya Mental Health Board was appointed in August 2022 and by the end of the FY 2022/2023
and due to inadequate funding, they could not inspect mental health units and facilities and hence could
not report on the mental status of the country.
NCI-Kenya has also been proactive in its efforts to promote universal health coverage (UHC) by
enhancing access to cancer education; through contextualized cancer awareness messages in ten
vernacular languages, procured spots on ten vernacular FM stations. NCI-Kenya successfully
disseminated cancer education materials targeted at persons with disabilities (PWDs) through the
National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD) platforms and to the members of the public
through the website and social media handles of the Institute number of people reached is 17,000,000
in FY2022/23.
The Institute initiated the institutionalization of cancer prevention and control initiatives in 22
Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) with the involvement of senior management officials,
developed a sensitization package on cancer prevention and control workplace programs, and
successfully sensitized the 22 MDAs on the package. The institute also maintained a register of focal
persons, ensuring continuity, scale up and accountability in these initiatives.
The institute developed a county sensitization package on resource allocation, supporting specific
counties in developing cancer control frameworks. Digitization of the standard guidelines for
establishment of cancer management Centers and the cancer registry training materials to improve
quality of services. 8 cancer registries were established.
NCI-Kenya focused on policy development and regulatory frameworks. The institute developed
regulations to operationalize the Cancer Control Act awaiting public hearings in various counties. NCI-
Kenya made significant strides in the designation and certification of 78 cancer treatment centers to
contribute to improving cancer care accessibility and quality.

Sub-Programme1.3: Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child and Adolescent Health
(RMNCAH)
In FY 2022/23, the proportion of women who attended at least four ANC visits was reported at 51.9%,
against a target of 57%. Postnatal care within 2-3 days of delivery was at 37.9%, below the 50% goal,
with the specific causes for these shortfalls still under investigation. The recent Kenya Demographic
Health Survey (KDHS 2022) shows that under-five mortality rate has decreased from 52 to 41 deaths
per 1,000 live births, and infant mortality rate from 39 to 32 deaths per 1,000 live births. The neonatal
mortality reduced at a slower rate and currently stands at 21 from 22 deaths per 1,000 live births. The
SDG targets to reduce neonatal mortality rate to 12 per 1,000 live births and under-five mortality to 25
per 1,000 live births by 2030.
In FY 2021/22, a total of 2.2 million copies of Mother Child Health Handbook (MOH 216) were
printed and distributed to all counties. Priority needs to be given to have this book printed annually to
ensure continuous supply to counties.
A slight improvement noted for the facility neonatal deaths from a target of 11 deaths per 1,000 live
births to 10.1 deaths per 1,000 live births. This was due to scaling-up of high impact interventions,
supplies and equipment, capacity building of essential new-born care, development and rolling out of
quality of care standards, data reviews meetings, improved technical assistance to counties
31
b) Family Planning
Kenya has made incredible progress in improving its contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) which has
led to a reduction in the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) from 3.9 in 2014 to 3.4 in 2022. The percentage of
women of reproductive age (WRA) receiving family planning (FP) commodities increased from 52.4%
in 2021/22 to 74% in 2022/23.
The innovative electronic Community Health Information System (eCHIS) piloted in FY 2021/2022
in Isiolo and Kisumu has since been expanded to include six more counties: Kakamega, Siaya, Vihiga,
Migori, Nakuru, and Nyeri. In these regions, Community Health Promoters have been leveraging on
the eCHIS platform to deliver high-quality, integrated community health services directly to
households, marking a significant advancement in localized healthcare delivery.
As at June 2023, Counties were able to establish new Community Health Units linked to public health
facilities in an endeavor to enhance Universal Healthcare Coverage, with 113% coverage in FY
2022/23 as compared to 92% in the FY 2021/22.
a) Orthopaedic Trauma
Development of Orthopaedic Trauma Registers (MOH 274) was started in FY 2021/2022 and
completed in FY 2022/23. The Register is a data quality management and collection tool that will assist
managerial decision-making, staff rationalization, and coming up with an indicator such as clubfoot
management in Kenya among others.
b) Clinical Services
Operationalization of the Health and Wellness Center through an expanded range of services was done
in the FY 2021/22 to 2022/23 to offer and cater for emergencies in line with the Health and Wellness
centre at the Ministry of Health, a TWG and draft zero guidelines was developed. Technical assistance
to counties was also done by holding the Annual meeting with county frontline health care workers
32
theme roles in Universal Health Care. This contributed towards the coordination of key health care
personnel that play a major role in primary healthcare in Kenya. All counties were well reached out in
the FY 2021/22 to 2022/23.
During the period under review (FY 2021/2022/2023), the Radiography bill was signed into law
December 2021 and the current state is to operationalize and implement. The rules and regulations for
radiographers Act was subjected to stakeholders’ engagement and now are in the process of
gazettment.
To improve radiology and diagnostic imaging services and radiation protection safety measures, 40
radiographers were sensitized and trained on radiation monitoring for quality assurance. During the
period under review, a draft ultrasound guideline was developed and awaiting a stakeholder
participation.
d) Rehabilitative Services
In the FY 2021/22, the Rehabilitative services supported the National Council for Persons with
disability in the process of registration of Persons with disability and the KRA in the process of vetting
PWDs who had applied for tax exemption. The Disability Medical Assessment, Categorization
Guidelines and the Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology Strategy 2021-2026 was also done and
the Disability Assessment Committee that was formed was sensitized. Further, Disability Medical
Assessment was decentralized to the counties to ease the process of assessment and registration of
PWDs.

Though the facility has a small bed capacity, sufficient measures have been initiated to allow both long
and short stay patients. A clear admissions committee with an established standard procedure has been
instituted and a clear waiting list for patients reassessed. The patients receiving Physiotherapy services
increased to 4377 in FY 2022/2023 from 3441 in FY 2021/2022 and 2810 in FY 2020/2021.
In the financial years 2021/22 - 2022/23, the State Department managed to perform 780 autopsies, 235
court expert opinions have been done, and interpreted 10% of the pathology results for clinical
decisions against a target of 40%. The variation is because linkage with clinical teams in the counties
is weak in that some counties do not have pathologists such as Elgeyo market, Kilifi, Garissa, and
Narok among others. In line with supporting administration of justice because of court orders, 25
exhumations were performed.
In the financial year 2022/23, the State Department managed to perform 1705 autopsies, 249 court
expert opinions, 20 exhumations and interpreted 60% of the pathology results, an improvement from
10%. 20 Exhumations were performed. At the National Cancer Reference Laboratory, a cancer
diagnosis was made for 156 patients using histology slides and 200,000 using cytology slides. in
addition, a total of 428 exhumations were carried in Shakahola Kilifi county.

Sub-Programme 4.1 General Administration & Human resource Management & Development
The Subsector has undertaken Workload Analysis that will strengthen the institutional frameworks for
its different State Corporations to address duplication, overlap and harmonize the reporting
relationships. Additionally, the restructuring will address staffing gaps arising from devolution and
new & emerging health technologies.
The HR instruments for the following State Corporation below were developed and approved by Public
Service Commission: -
Industrial Relations
During the reporting period the Subsector faced industrial unrests which disrupted service delivery.
An alternative dispute resolution mechanism was deployed to improve the industrial relationship thus
67
averting pending strikes. Currently as a Sector is experiencing unprecedented industrial peace and
harmony.
In the period under review, training was emphasized on increasing the pool of specialized health
workforce. The Sector enrolled healthcare workers in various universities to undertake different
specialized courses that is, psychiatric (8) Orthopaedic Surgery (14), Neurology(1), Paediatric
Surgery(4), Anesthesiology (3), Diagnostic Radiology(6), Nephrology, Urology(9), Plastic &
Reconstructive surgery(6), Ophthalmology(26), Family Medicine(7), Thoracic & Cardiovascular
surgery(3), Internal Medicine(40), Human Pathology(5) and various courses at the Kenya School of
Government (KSG). The sector trained a total of 327 and 302 officers in 2020/21 and 2021/22
respectively. In the year under review, no new training approvals were made and the allocation was
used to clear pending fee payment for officers who were already in school pursuing different
programmes.
Internship programme
Internship in health sector is a compulsory experiential learning, where graduates build upon
previously acquired technical knowledge by working within a professional work setting. The
programme is designed to allow graduates to enhance their professionalism and gain career knowledge
through hands-on – training for a prescribed period of one (1) year.
The Subsector has an authorized establishment of 9500 interns. In the year 2022/23, a total of 4934
interns were placed in various health facilities to undertake their mandatory internship programme.
This was an increase from 4165 and 3876 in 2021/22 and 2020/21 respectively. However, during the
implementation of the programme, the sector faced a challenge of inadequate funds to place the
approved numbers and lack of enough placement facilities to cater for the increased number of
graduates.
In order to streamline the Internship Programme, the Subsector developed an internship guideline
which are expected to solve challenges facing management of the internship programme in the health
sector.
The Directorate/Department led the State Department of Medical Services in the articulation of the
BETA priorities as reflected in the Medium Term Plan IV. The Department further provided support
and capacity development on planning, priority petting and costing to SAGAs and programs.
In addition, it collaborated with the County Department of Health in the development of County Health
Strategic Frameworks. At the National level, the department of Planning developed concept notes for
the Kenya Health Sector Strategic Plan, Ministerial Strategic Plan as well as for Returns on Investment.
68
National health Accounts (NHA) report was finalized and disseminated together with County Health
Financing Facts Sheets. As part of the NHA, 15 policy briefs were developed and shared with MOH,
CoG and County departments of health.
In the year under review, the Division of Monitoring and Evaluation spearheaded a joint integrated
support supervision with counties (JHFA) that involved an extensive data collection process from
sampled 90 hospital and 172 primary healthcare facilities with an aim of evaluating the quality-of-
service delivery and ultimately make recommendations towards improving access and outcomes for
the entire population.
In addition, the Division, in collaboration with the KNBS and other stakeholders conducted the Kenya
Demographic Health Survey (KDHS) 2022 to assess the prevalence of key health indicators like
maternal and child health, family planning, HIV/AIDS, and nutrition to inform health policies and
guide program planning.
To track key performance indicators for the Primary Health Care systems, in the year under review,
the Division led the development of both the National and County PHC progression models that
includes both qualitative and quantitative data measuring key aspects related to inputs of PHC;
identification of priority areas and trend improvements in the implementation of PHC over time.
The Division also conducted a post evaluation of the COVID-19 roll out in the country with a draft
M/E framework developed and visualization of the framework linking the Chanjo system to the KHIS.
Health Financing
In the period under review, the State Department of Medical Services together with NHIF, finalized
the Harmonized UHC Essential Benefits Package (EBP). The essence of the Essential Benefit Package
is mainly to support strategic purchasing decisions and clearly outline the scope of benefits, and from
where the benefits can be accessed. In the same reporting period, the Health Financing strategy was
finalized and launched. Other achievements towards the realization of the UHC goal included approval
of the finalized Social Health Insurance Sessional Paper. Identification and registration of over one
million indigents across the forty-seven (47) counties was done by the State Department for Social
protection and National Health Insurance Fund. Finally, the State Department of Medical Services in
the period finalized the development of Facility Improvement Fund (FIF) Guidelines to outline the
process of retention of user fees and NHIF reimbursements among other sources of revenue for the
health facility and initiated the process of development of Donor Transitioning Road map.
During the review period, the State Department of Medical Services together with EAC held the first
National Health Financing Dialogue as a recommendation from the African Leadership Meeting that
advocated for increased domestic resources for health.
69
The State Department in collaboration with other stakeholders have initiated processes that serve as
facilitators for UHC. This has contributed to significant milestones such as provision of SMART cards
to cover 200,000 boda boda riders, achieved through a partnership involving the Ministry of Interior,
National Transport Safety Authority (NTSA), National Registration Bureau (NRB), National Youth
Service (NYS), Huduma Centres, and the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF). In the same breadth
there have been efforts to enroll a big segment of informal sector through collaboration between the
Ministry of Health, NHIF has partnered with USAID & Health Partners to pursue the Cooperative
Health Financial Model to leverage and increase member enrolment through structured Sacco/Welfare
and cooperatives in the country.
These investments have improved service delivery and coverage leading to an attainment of an overall
UHC service coverage index of 79%, which is good progress in the journey towards universal health
coverage for all.

The Health Insurance Subsidy Programme (HISP) is a demand financing health intervention that
intends to enhance utilization of health services and at the same time reduce out of pocket spending by
the indigent population.
NHIF rolled out HISP in 2014 targeting beneficiaries of the Orphans and Vulnerable Children Cash
Transfer Program implemented by the State Department for Social Protection. Currently, there are
181,968 households registered and covered by NHIF. HISP members are entitled to a similar cover
enjoyed by the National Health Scheme members. This includes inpatient, outpatient, and special
packages & products.
The State Department for Social Protection through the Ministry of Health shared the data file of
72,400 HHs with NHIF which were subjected to IPRS verification and subsequently registered. The
number of households covered stands at 254,368 OVC households as at 30th June 2023.
There is a marked improvement in utilization of benefits among HISP beneficiaries because of the
system and operational improvements such as biometric identification. In addition, the sensitization
that was also conducted while biometric registration was taking place empowered beneficiaries with
the right information relating to access to benefits.
A total of KSh. 510 million has been paid out as benefits for members of the program for the FY
2022/23 ended 30th June 2023 which is represents a 53% increase compared to KSh. 290 million in FY
2021/22.
Recent discussions in the past five (5) periods have centred on increasing health coverage to the poor
and vulnerable persons in society. Currently, approximately 36% of the population lives below the
poverty line while 9% live in extreme poverty. A large proportion of the population is vulnerable to
poverty because of a wide range of factors are unable to deal with livelihood shocks such as sickness,
old age, unemployment, and disability.
Government of Kenya through the Ministry of Health subsidizes the premiums of the beneficiaries of
the Older Persons and Persons with Severe Disability Cash Transfer Programme. NHIF has been
implementing the OPSD program since 2014 and currently covers 58,800 households.
72
The OPWD target group constitutes the households under the Older Persons and Persons with Severe
Disability Cash Transfer Programme. The targeting and identification was carried out by the Ministry
of Labour and Social Protection (ML&SP) through proxy means testing and community verification.
The 58,800 households were ranked by the Ministry of Labour and Department of Social Protection
as the poorest in the database of beneficiaries in the Older Persons and Persons with Severe Disability
cash transfer program. The households have access to benefits as prescribed under the National Scheme
guidelines including inpatient, diagnostic testing, chronic care management and outpatient services
among others to all NHIF members including HISP beneficiaries.
OPSD members are entitled to a similar cover enjoyed by the National Health Scheme members. This
includes inpatient, outpatient, and special packages & products. A total of KES 142 million has been
paid out as benefits for members of the program for the FY 2022/23 ended 30th June 2023. This
represents a 56 per cent increase compared to the KSh.91 million paid out in FY 2021/22.
Inua Jamii 70+Program is a government flagship program that rolled out in April 2018 and aims to
extend coverage to older persons as part of its commitment to achieving Universal Health Coverage as
underscored in the BETA Agenda. The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection expanded the Older
Persons Cash Transfer Program to cover all poor and vulnerable persons aged 70 years and above.
Therefore, this group of beneficiaries are set to access health insurance cover through the National
Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF).
Currently, the beneficiaries of Inua Jamii 70+ program are not accessing benefits due to the fact NHIF
is yet to receive the premiums for the beneficiaries. However, the beneficiaries are eligible to access
to benefits as prescribed by under the National Scheme guidelines including inpatient, diagnostic
testing, chronic care management and outpatient services.
The Government of Kenya under the ‘BETA’ agenda is committed to the provision of quality
healthcare to all, including the vulnerable members of society. The Government seeks to expand health
insurance coverage for poor and vulnerable groups under a cover nested in NHIF. Towards this, H.E
the President launched the UHC Scale-up on 7th February 2022. The cover took effect from 1st January
2022 and intends to offer equitable access to quality health services and financial risk protection for
all Kenyans through health insurance coverage.
Data of 1,509,037 indigents was submitted to NHIF for registration. This was subjected to IPRS
validation and other internal checks before registration. Out of these, 882,291 qualified for sponsorship
and were registered to access benefits. Consequently, the Ministry directed that the balance of the funds
that were paid for the UHC vulnerable households who had not yet been identified be utilized to
provide a medical cover for 200,000 Boda Boda riders.
73
As of June 2023, a total of 456,354 out of the 882,291 validated beneficiaries have been biometrically
registered. This is an increase of 90,835 beneficiaries compared to 369,519 households registered
biometrically as of June 2022. Currently, 1,000,000 households are covered under this program due to
the premium paid of KSh. 6 billion annually. NHIF is fast-tracking the biometric registration of the
members for seamless access of services. A total of KSh. 3.3 billion of benefits were paid out during
the FY 2022/23 compared to KSh.1.3 billion paid in FY 2021/22. This represents an increase of 154
per cent.
The number of confirmed malaria cases per 1,000 population depicts an increase in malaria incidence
in the last two financial years from 82 cases per 1,000 in FY 2021/22 to 105 cases per 1,000 in FY
2022/23. The increase is because of enhanced diagnosis (testing) and, therefore, not a real increase.
The malaria blood examination rate, i.e., number of tests done per 100 population, has increased from
25.8 in the fiscal year 2019-2020 to 29.1 in the fiscal year 2022-2023. This enhanced testing of
suspected cases follows the “Test and Treat” policy for suspected malaria cases.

ii. Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global epidemic of public health concern being one of the leading causes
of death from a single infectious agent. Kenya is among 30 high TB and TB/HIV high burden countries
that contribute over 85% of the global TB burden. According to the TB prevalence survey carried out
in 2017, TB prevalence was 426 per 100,000 population. In 2021, WHO estimated that about 133,000
people fell ill due to TB in Kenya (WHO report 2022). The drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis poses
a major public health challenge and an economic burden to the country especially the household
affected by the disease due to the high intervention cost. During the financial year 2022/2023, Kenya
diagnosed 98,97582,302 people with drug-susceptible tuberculosis and started them on treatment.
There were 609 702 people diagnosed with drug resistant strain of TB and all of them were started on
second line treatment.
The country has achieved significant progress in TB control and prevention resulting in notable
decrease in new cases and mortality due to TB. The figure below shows trends of TB incidence and
75
mortality since 2015. The trends show that Kenya is on track on achieving the End TB milestones of
reducing incidence and mortality.
Source: KHIS
• While TB case finding has improved from 73,777 in FY21/22 to 82,302 in the reporting
period, a significant proportion (32%) of people with TB are still missed. DR TB case
identification declined during the period from 804 in FY21/22 to 702 in FY22/23. The
Ministry of Health has put in place strategies to accelerate TB case finding and improve
treatment outcomes. Some of the interventions carried out during the year were;
• Active case finding in health facilities; This requires that all persons visiting the health
facilities are screened for TB and those with symptoms tested for TB using molecular
testing such as gene expert and Trunat. Community outreaches were also done in hard-to-
reach areas using mobile X rays assisted in increasing case finding. TB contacts screening
was also strengthened using community health volunteers
• Strengthening of TB diagnosis; by continuously supporting procurement and distribution
of testing reagents and gene expert cartridges across all the 47 counties. Adoption of new
testing technologies as recommended by WHO such as Trunat and gene Xpert ultra also
has contributed to TB diagnosis
• Strengthening of initiation of TB preventive therapy (TPT) among TB contacts; this is
expected to contribute to a significant reduction in new TB cases
• The Ministry continued to ensure availability of first-line and second-line treatment in order
to improve and sustain treatment success rates
• Engagement of all care providers including private sector both formal and informal in TB
control activities
• The Ministry had the following achievements in the period under review:
• The TB program and its stakeholder’s success fully developed TB strategic plan
FY2023/24- 2027/28
• Roll out of public-private mix (PPM) dashboard assisted by WHO to improve private sector
visibility in TB reporting
76
• Expansion of molecular testing including introduction of Trunat to complement gene Xpert
in order to improve access of drug susceptibility testing (DST) by all TB patients. Digital
adherence technologies were also introduced in the country.
• Improvement in TB case finding which could be attributed to strengthening of active case
finding and quality improvement
• Notable gradual TB incidence and mortality decline
• In order to contribute to the government agenda, facility-based app t-bu lite app was rolled
out to ease reporting in facilities in both private and public sector.
i. Primary Healthcare
As follow up of the Government’s directive, the State Department of health has outlined new
arrangements in terms of service delivery through the formation of Primary Care Networks as stated
in the primary health care strategic framework. To strengthen the agenda, reorganization of service
delivery through the establishment of primary care networks (PCNs) was prioritized. To establish the
PCNs guidelines were developed to outline the steps which envisioned that all the community Units in
each sub-county are linked to the primary health care facilities (Level 2 & 3) and the sub-county
hospitals. Over the period in review 10 counties have established PCNs translating to 21% as per the
target of 47 counties during the financial year in review. The country has established 30 primary health
care networks spread across ten counties since 2020, with the bulk having been established in 2022/23.
To strengthen community reporting, the Sector developed a e-community health information system
for roll out to all the counties in 2022/23. It also collaborated with the county governments to set up
seven (7) primary care networks in seven counties, namely Makueni, Kisumu, Garissa, Mombasa,
Nakuru, Kakamega and Marsabit.
The Primary Health Care Act 2023, Digital Health Act 2023, Facility Improvement Financing Act
2023, and the Social Health Insurance Act 2023 (all aimed at providing an enabling environment to
sustain PCNs) were assented into law. The electronic community health information system (eCHIS)
has been scaled up to 7 counties from one in the previous year.
Community health units are deemed functional if they meet the following requirements: submitting
the MOH 514 every month, conducting four dialogue days, 12 action days and 12 monthly feedback
meetings in a year as well as doing home visits. Operationalization of existing Community Health
Units gradually increased from 81 per cent in 2021/2021 to 86% in 2022/2023.Dialogue days
conducted in the community increased from 32,260 to 43,212. However, this is still below the expected
number as one community health unit is expected to conduct 4 dialogues in a year.

During the year under review the authority processed one license applications for Positron Emitted
Tomography Computed Tomography (PET/CT). The PET/CT detects residual or recurrent disease and
is an excellent diagnostic procedure to differentiate tumour recurrences and as such the approach
allows for the development of a more rational treatment plan for the patient.
The Authority also considered five license applications for installations of linear accelerators. Linear
accelerators are a best alternative to radiotherapy centres which were using radioactive materials for
treatment of cancer. In addition, a big advantage of the replacement is that linear accelerators don’t
pose nuclear security challenges as compared to radiotherapy centres. Risk-based radiation
contamination monitoring of consumer products imported to our country was also conducted during
the year under review.
In the realm of nuclear security and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the authority
conducted Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) explosives training for fifty officers
from the National Police Service. In addition, during the period under review conducted in conjunction
with development partners the physical security planning and enhancement of high radiation risk
facilities.

resources. It aims to prevent non-communicable diseases, improve physical and mental health, foster
community support and promote eco-friendly living, creating a lasting positive impact on health and
wellness.
Nutrition and Dietetics: Kenya is experiencing the triple burden of malnutrition, where undernutrition
(underweight, stunting and wasting), overweight and obesity and micronutrient deficiencies in addition
to the burden of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). Out of 6,301,316 children under five years,
nearly 1,109,032 are stunted (18%); 308,764 are wasted (5%); 636,433(10 per cent) are underweight;
and 3% are overweight or obese. Slightly over a quarter (28%) of adults aged 18–69 years are either
overweight or obese. Currently, with the prevalence in women at 38.5% and men 17.5% (Kenya 2015
STEPwise Survey). Micronutrient deficiencies of iron, folate, iodine and vitamin A are also
widespread, with 42% of pregnant women and 26% children 6–59 months are anaemic (KNMS, 2011).
Although Kenya has made improvement in some of the nutrition indicators, malnutrition remains a
significant public health problem, a hindrance to achieving the country’s developmental agenda with
huge economic losses estimated at KSh 374 billion annually. Additionally, the Human Capital Index
(HCI) for Kenya stands at 0.55 meaning that a child born today in Kenya (provided all indicators stay
at the level they are today) is only 55% productive of what he/she could be with complete education
and full health. Among the factors contributing to the present HCI for Kenya are the high stunting
rates. Notwithstanding these significant economic losses or costs due to poor nutrition, further evidence
shows that the return on investment for nutrition in Kenya stands at USD 22 for every USD 1 invested
towards nutrition, making nutrition a worthwhile investment.
The Ministry is implementing several nutrition interventions in addressing malnutrition in all its forms.
The recurrent budgetary allocation for nutrition increased from KSh 80 million in 2021/22 to KES
204,746,905 under capital projects for procurement of therapeutic and supplementary food for
treatment of acute malnutrition in FY 2022/23. Cognizant of the declining donor funding for nutrition
programs, nutrition is one of the components included in the Health Sector Financing Transitioning
Roadmap 2022-2030.
During the report period the following achievements were realized. VAS coverage has improved
82.1% in 2020 to 86.3% in 2021, and 83.7 in 2022 thereby realizing the global and national target of
80%. The improved coverage of Vitamin A supplementation was due to accelerated Malezi Bora. This
is normally done through routine health facility visits and integrated community outreaches. Successful
80
Malezi Bora events require that stakeholders work collaboratively in microplanning, pooling
resources, leveraging on each partner’s comparative strengths, and coming together to review progress
achievement.
Other important achievements include capacity building of Health Care workers on Baby Friendly
Community Initiative (BFCI), Integrated management for acute malnutrition, the Kenya Nutrition
Scorecard and training on Healthy Diets and Physical Activity. A total of 52 TOTs were trained and
3,670 Health Care workers trained. Kenya Nutrient Profile Model (KNPM) was finalized, the draft
Front of Pack Nutrition labelling (FOPNL) standard is near finalization. FOPNL is one of the diet-
based interventions in prevention, control and management of NCDs.
Under the ending drought emergencies flagship project, the Ministry is promoting integrated
management of acute malnutrition in the 23 ASAL counties: Every year, 2 nutrition situation
assessments have been conducted providing the caseloads for treatment of acute malnutrition.
81
The need to save lives requires the urgent implementation of the health sector strategic priority 5 on
minimization of exposure to health risk factors. During the period under review the Ministry prioritized
to train a total of 2500 community health volunteers and managed to train 2668 CHV with support
from GIZ and the 47 counties.
vi. Port Health Services
The International Health Regulations (2005) requires countries to develop and strengthen capacities at
ports, airports and ground crossings based on routine activities and emergency situations of both local
and international concern, in a bid to safeguard the country’s borders against the introduction and
exportation of infectious diseases and other public health risks. In order to achieve this objective four
(4) key indicators were developed to assess performance. These include:
i). Screening of travellers for notifiable diseases; 1% achieved
ii). Issuance of vaccination certificates as per health requirements; 77% achieved
iii). Cargo clearance and; 151% achieved
iv). Inspection and certification of conveyances. 159% achieved
The descalation of COVID-19 travel requirements had an impact of the set targets to include reduction
of enhanced screening of travellers and issuance of COVID-19 vaccination while a marked increase
was noted in the number of conveyances arriving into the country as well as cargo.
In terms of preparedness for an emergency of international concern, Port Health services embarked on
a joint core capacity assessment with Tanzania at the Kenya/Tanzania borders, developed draft
simulation manual for points of entry, draft operational point of entry operational guidelines and draft
five-year port health strategic plan, the first of its kind. Further 38 thermal cameras were installed and
commissioned at the points of entry through funding support from the AFD project.
vii. Tobacco Control Board
Tobacco Control Board is established under Section 5 of Tobacco Control Act 2007 Cap 245A and
continues to discharge its mandates within the Confines of the WHO-FCTC, Tobacco Control Act and
Regulations including the relevant laws with the view of guiding Tobacco Control in Kenya. During
the period under review, the planned activities included training of Tobacco Control enforcement
officers in the 47 counties and full implementation of new graphic health warnings. The Board
prioritized formation and sensitization of multisectoral tobacco control and enforcement committees
in all the 47 counties.
On establishment and training of enforcement officers, the Board initiated the process of establishing
county multisectoral tobacco control and enforcement committees. A total of two meetings were held
virtually between the board and the county commissioners across all the 47 counties. Tobacco control
enforcement training manual was developed and a total of 200 county enforcement officials were
trained in two workshops conducted in Eldoret.
82
policy 2014 to 2030 and the Kenya vision 2030 to transform the country into a globally competitive
and prosperous nation with a high quality of life by 2030.
In the FY 2022/23, the Division of Disease Surveillance and Response developed the third edition
Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) technical Guideline. The Division, through the
support from partners, conducted sensitization on the guidelines to the county management team in all
47 counties. The Division plans to scale up the training to all sub-counties, health facilities, and the
community by 2026 as stipulated in the DDSR strategic plan 2022-2026. There is a need therefore to
rally support from the national and county governments for roll out to all counties and ensure
sustainability. The Division also finalized the Cholera Elimination Plan 2022-2026 and the Cholera
Treatment Guidelines 2023.
AFP Surveillance: The detection rate of non-polio Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) declined from 4.06
to 3.14 per 100,000. As Per international norms, a rate below 2 per 100,000 indicates that the
surveillance system is not effective. This performance was a result of system-strengthening approaches
like performance-based reimbursements, supportive supervisory activities, and guidance from Polio
expert committee members. There is significant support from partners both at the National and county
levels. Globally, there is a reduction in donor support for Polio activities and there is a need to transition
to Government funding to ensure a polio-free status.
Event Based Surveillance (EBS): Event based surveillance (EBS) is premised on the fact that
occurrence of some events may precede disease outbreaks. Undertaking surveillance on such events
provides good lead time to either prevent or significantly reduce the associated unfavourable outcomes.
It involves collection and notification of information on events that present known and unknown public
health threats thus complimenting the routine integrated disease surveillance (IDSR) on priority
diseases and conditions. The Ministry through the Division of Disease Surveillance and Response
established Community Events Based surveillance system in five selected counties of Kajiado,
Marsabit, Mombasa, Nakuru and Siaya. Commitments for the FY 2022/23 was to scale up the number
Counties implementing EBS from 8 to 20.
Division of Zoonotic Diseases: Staff trained on Rabies and Brucellosis. The Zoonotic Disease Unit
(Now Division of Zoonosis) was established in 2011 jointly by the Ministry of Health and Ministry of
Livestock Development with a mission to establish and maintain active collaboration at the animal-
human ecosystem interface towards better prevention and control of zoonoses. The ZDU serves as
Kenya's One Health office and secretariat to the Zoonoses Technical Working Group (ZTWG). In
83
2012, the ZDU launched its first strategic plan (2012-2017) whose main objectives were to strengthen
One Health implementation and national and county levels, to strengthen zoonotic disease surveillance
and to promote applied research using the One Health approach. During the FY 2022/23 the Division
planned to support investigation of rabies deaths by use of post-mortems biopsy. So far 5 rabies
diagnosis were confirmed as opposed to the targeted 10. There were challenges related to difficulties
in sample collection that hampered the desired achievements.
Public Health emergency Operations Centre: The Kenya Public Health Emergency Operation
Centre (PHEOC) is a hub for coordinating preparedness and response to public health emergencies
and diverse public health threats, such as disease outbreaks. The country continues to implement the
National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS) 2019-2023.
During the financial year 2022/2023, through the support of WHO, AFRO and Africa Centres for
Disease Control and Prevention, 118 Africa Volunteer Health Corps (AVoHC) surge personnel were
trained as rapid responders. The participants were drawn from all 47 counties, Ministries of Health,
Water and Sanitation, Education, Agriculture and Livestock, Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage and
Interior. The surge capacity is ready for deployment in the event of an emergency in the continent.
There is a need to review the NAPHS as a priority for the next financial year.
The Kenya Public Health Emergency Operation Centre (KPHEOC) was activated and supported
response for various outbreaks in the country and continues to coordinate response measures as well
as provide daily situation reports to inform planning for five outbreaks, namely, COVID-19, Visceral
Leishmaniasis, Measles, Cholera, and preparedness for Ebola outbreak. In addition, it coordinated the
first mass vaccination of the oral cholera vaccine in response to an outbreak. Further, the Centre
conducted three simulation exercises: A World Health Organization Africa Regional functional
exercise on Ebola, tabletop exercise on Rift Valley fever, and Ebola outbreak.
Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training (FELTP): The Field Epidemiology and Laboratory
Training (FELTP) programme started in 2004. The mandate of the programme is based on the need to
develop a skilled public health workforce that supports the surveillance systems, respond to public
health emergencies and use data for decision making respond to outbreaks in a timely manner to avoid
morbidity and mortality. In the FY 2022/23 the program has been able to train and graduate total of
200 grandaunts thirty (30) from Advanced Level, sixty (60) from Intermediate level and one hundred
and twenty (120) Front line.
ii. Department of Laboratory Services
The Department of Laboratory Services (Now Division of National Laboratory Services, DNLS) in
the Ministry of Health is tasked with formulation of laboratory policies and guidelines, provision of
specialized testing for priority infectious and non-communicable disease, laboratory-based disease
surveillance, provision of quality assurance for the public health laboratories and referral services
linking national, international, and county laboratories.
Within the period under review, the Department worked closely with key partners, international
organizations, and technical agencies to establish and expand molecular testing capacity for High-risk
HPV, improve laboratory network for referral services, conduct food fortification monitoring and
surveillance of contaminants in drinking water and foods.
In 2021/2022, 2022/2023 the Department targeted to expand and maintain the proportion of national
and county reference laboratories able to conduct molecular testing for emerging and re-emerging
84
diseases to 31%. This was maintained in 2021/2022 and 2022/2023. This was due to the scale-up of
molecular testing platforms in level IV and V laboratories.
The Department also targeted to increase and maintain the number of medical laboratories with
capacity to detect and report on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) at 17. This was achieved through
sensitization and activation of targeted laboratories in AMR surveillance.
The target was to conduct 3,000 and 4,200 tests in 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 respectively. These
testing targets were surpassed to 4,822 and 24,310 respectively. The proportion of laboratories with
capacity to conduct molecular testing of High-risk HPV was also increased from 9.1% to 10.6% in
2022/2023. These increases were due to effective sensitization for testing by the National Cancer
Control Program.
The targets for COVID-19 testing for 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 were 1.9 and 1.2 million respectively.
The testing dropped to 174,308 tests in 2022/2023 due to the de-escalation of COVID-19 as a global
health emergency requiring testing for only targeted cohorts.
The targeted proportion of mycotoxin tests on foods and feeds as well as Fluoride, Nitrates and
Sulphates on water for compliance with food safety standards of 86% and 80% respectively in
2022/2023 was achieved due to the Public Health Officers (PHO) initiative for sampling of food, water
and feeds for compliance with food safety standards.
The proportion of tests on maize and wheat flour complying with food fortification standards also
increased from 38% to 72.6% owing to the increased surveillance and sensitization of the flour milling
industry. This followed the Ministry’s development of a Guideline on Surveillance and Enforcement
for Food Fortification in Kenya with the aim of strengthening enforcement of mandatory required food
as per CAP 254 and Kenyan Standards.
85
use of the platforms. Part of content theory in every module was covered via e-learning. In addition, at
least one continuous assessment test in each module per semester was undertaken on an e-learning
platform. These interventions made the college to be named among the top 100 best institutions in ICT
innovation in Africa at the 13th edition of the Africa CIO100 Awards. The College retained its position
as the preferred medical institution- Webometrics ranking of 2021 and 2022.
Further the College launched a state-of-the-art simulation laboratory. The Laboratory provides quality
simulation inter-professional experience training for critical care health workers and trainees. The
Laboratory includes a mock Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and operating theatre in which routine and
complex clinical cases can be performed under the guidance of our faculty. It is fitted with a
Comprehensive Care Ventilator (CCV) as well as Universal Anaesthesia Machine (UAM), several
mannequins, an ICU bed, patient monitors, oxygen cylinders and accessories, machines to simulate
different types of breathing, airway kits, and other devices, accessories, and consumables that help
simulate a real clinical environment.
In the FY2022/23, the student enrolment grew from 21,700 in 2021 to 25,889 in 2023 this led to
increase in student population from 59,000 to 62,807 from 2021 to 2023 respectively. This was due to
an increase in infrastructural development which introduced more training opportunities in Teso,
Transmara, Chemolingot, Shianda Mumias ,Ndhiwa while Kangema ,Othaya and Navakholo
campuses which w ere opened. Further, to this there was a 95% transition rate from admission to
graduation.
ii. Kenya Health Professions Oversight Authority (KHPOA)
During the period under review the Authority developed Human resource instruments which were
approved, and the Authority was categorized as an Oversight/Regulatory state corporation category
PC6B.
A total of 13,996 health facilities were inspected for compliance to standards in service delivery and
17 level 5 hospitals assessed for emergency care preparedness. In addition, 176 County Health
inspectors were trained across all the 47 counties on inspections for quality-of-care improvement.
The Authority processed 70 complaints from patients and aggrieved parties; and facilitated resolution
of 5 disputes from regulatory boards and councils.
86
Figure 8: The President presiding over the inauguration of Kenya Health Human Resource Advisory Council
During the period under review with technical support from the State Department for Public Service
KHHRAC, developed human resource (HR) instruments which include the Organizational Structure,
Career Progression Guidelines, Human Resource Policy and Procedure Manual, and job descriptions
and are awaiting presentation to the Public Service Commission for approval. With support from
partners KHHRAC has been carrying out national health workforce accounts (NHWA) and workload
indicators for staffing needs (WISN).
The National Health Workforce Accounts (NHWA) is a system by which countries progressively
improve the availability, quality, and use of data on the health workforce to support the achievement
of UHC and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). KHHRAC received technical and financial
support from the WHO to implement the third round of NHWA in the Country in 2022. The Council
strengthened the governance structures with technical working groups and stakeholders’ forums
towards progressive improvement. Training for County Human Resource Management Officers for
Health (HRM), County Health Records Information Officers (CHRIOs), and officers from National
Referral Facilities on NHWA and Integrated Human Resource Information system (iHRIS) was
conducted. The progressive update and improvements of iHRIS for NHWA have enabled Kenya to
report on the WHO platform for the last three years since 2020. KHHRAC held a Chief Officers Forum
and a Multi-Agency stakeholder forum to disseminate the findings.
Integrated Human Resource Information System (iHRIS), through the support of partners USAID,
Global Fund, and PFMR undertook the training of the 47 County Human Resource and Health Records
Information Officers on the Integrated Human Resource Information System tool to capacity-build
them on in-depth data analytics which has enabled counties to update the system and develop County
health workforce data profiles and dashboards for improved data for decision making.
Workload Indicators for Staffing Needs (WISN) is a human resource planning and management tool
that gives health managers a systematic way of making staffing decisions. During the period under
87
review KHHRAC made major steps towards the implementation of WISN. KHHRAC steered the
development of the WISN Implementation roadmap; training of two Expert Working Groups;
identification of the Workload Components and development of Activity Standards of each of the
health professional cadres which were prioritized. Sampling of the Health facilities in which the Data
Collection will be done was also done as was the development of the Data Collection Tools. Piloting
of WISN was done in Mombasa County. Further, KHHRAC undertook training of human resource
officers from all 47 counties on WISN.
KHHRAC planned to have a centralized database that records captures and manages information about
healthcare professionals. The goal is to uniquely identify all health care workers providing health care
services in Kenya thus enhancing the quality of care and efficient use of resources to support the
development of a skilled workforce and accelerate UHC.
Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) has been able to achieve most of its set
targets and has made significant progress in various areas. The digitization of the practitioner's license
renewal process and increased awareness are undoubtedly positive developments. This not only
streamline the process but also offers greater convenience to practitioners.
The success in routine inspections and the determination of malpractice cases is also a positive sign.
This is attributed to increase in Disciplinary and Ethics Committee hearings and ensuring ethical and
professional standards in the medical and dental fields are adhered to.
However, the underachievement in the number of new health facilities registered and licensed
highlights some challenges that needs to be addressed. These challenges include lack of personnel,
logistic challenges and dependence of other Government agencies for joint inspections.

The main objective of the Performance Review Report (PRR) is to inform the budget process by
reviewing budget implementation progress in previous periods and using the lessons learnt for future
expenditure decisions. The Council PPR will be used to determine MTEF budgetary allocations by
assessing whether value for money has been obtained in previous allocations, which programmes are
to be given priority. This is expected to contribute towards an efficient and effective way of allocating
resources towards realization of the objectives and UHC.
Delivery of outputs during the period under review
• The Council achieved the targets set in the following core mandate activities in
collaboration with the Ministry of Health, State Corporation Advisory Committee, other
health regulatory bodies and the state Department for Public service among other key
stakeholders:
• Education and Examination: During the three years under review the council was able to
conduct nine (9) Nurses & midwives licensure examinations, where a total of 30,560
undertook in the exams with a percentage pass rate of 75% and indexed a total of 29,403
nurses and midwives. The council reviewed all training Curricula which were due for
review during the same period.
89
• Standards and Compliance: The Number of nurses and midwives privately practicing rose
to 744. The current streamlining of regulation of private practice in the health sector is
expected to further increase the number of new applicants as well as renewals. The Council
inspected one hundred and forty-four (144) Health facilities for nurses and midwives’
clinical placements.
• Registration and Licensure: During period under review, the Council registered 19,022
nurses and midwives who applied for registration. Under the same period the council
licensed 143,801 nurses and midwives who applied for registration. In addition, the council
achieved 100% of BSNs presented by Ministry of Health for attachment placements.
• Technological Integration: Digitization and digitization of all services, which has improved
service delivery, 95% of all NCK services and operations are done online. This has
improved efficiency and reduced turnaround time in service delivery.
• Policies, regulation and guidelines: Over the last three (3) years the Council has been able
to develop various policies, regulations and guidelines to support Universal Health
Coverage (UHC) agenda. The policies, regulatory tools, developed and being implemented
are:
Developed and reviewed regulatory tools and guidelines to ensure standards of
nursing and midwifery practice are maintained. Scopes of Practice (Developed 13
for both general and specialty areas); Revised Code of Conduct and Ethics and
Procedure Manuals
Developed and operationalising the Nurses and Midwives (Fitness to Practice)
Regulations, 2022;
Data Protection; Alcohol and Drug Abuse; Business Continuity Management and
Disaster Recovery; Gender Mainstreaming; Gender Based Violence; Corruption
Prevention; Whistle Blowers’; Road Safety Mainstreaming; and Continuing
Professional Development (CPD) Guidelines.
Developed the Nurses and Midwives (Private practice) Regulations, 2022 that is at
approval stage before publication.
To ensure services have been devolved the Council has operationalized four (4) regional offices, thus
making its services easily accessible in Coast, Nyanza, Central and Rift valley regions. The Council
achieved ISO 9001: 2015 Quality Management Systems Certification (2022).
Bilateral Agreements on Immigration of Nurses and midwives: During the period through the Kenya-
UK BLA, the Council was able to take 128 nurses and midwives in UK, who are currently employed.
90
Figure 9:Cabinet Secretary, MOH Flagging-off of Nurses to the United Kingdom
The Council achieved the targets set in the following core mandate activities in the business process
as follows:
• Standards and Compliance: During the period under review the council Inspected 12 new
training institutions and re-inspected 4 universities and 5 middle-level colleges. In addition,
the council collaborated with other regulations and conducted joint health facility
inspections across the county for approximately 224 health facilities.
• Registration and Licensure: The council gazetted a total of licensed public Health
officers/Technicians total of 7114. During the period under review, the total number of
professionals registered rose with a total of 2,678 professionals. This was 40% growth for
the period under review.
• Online service provider Integration: The council improved its services by ensuring
Digitization and digitization of all services. This increased the service provision by 60% to
the professionals.
• Education and Examination: During the period under review the council was able to
conduct 2 examination cycles per year. For the three years, the total examined were 2345
candidates with total indexed students of 3123 students. The council accredited 5 internship
centres for maximum exposure of interns during the internship.
• Professional Development and Growth: for the period under review the council was able to
sensitize, create awareness, appoint regional CPD Focal persons to implement CPD uptake,
and increase the number of CPD providers. Additionally, conducted 1st International Public
Health Conference.
91
Critical Challenges
• During the period under review to implement the core, mandate the council was
incapacitated due to a lack of resources to execute the business processes.
• Having Insufficient Human resources at the council, the current staff is incapacitated to
meet the mandate and the tasks in accordance with the performance contract.
• The council's relevant pending approval for policies, regulations, and legal instruments to
formalize and legalize business processes of the council such as regulations for public
health inspection of health institutions regulations, 2020.
• Dependence on the government institutions' subsidy on the rent for the office workspace
among other infrastructure related to public health professional assessment.
• Insufficient enforcement task force leads to extremely low renewal rates among registered
professionals, with insufficient enforcement mechanisms.
KIPRE's snakebite intervention program made a substantial impact through 128 field snakebite rescue
missions. These missions resulted in the successful rescue of 356 snakebite victims across various
Counties, including Kitui, Samburu, Turkana, Baringo, West Pokot, and Narok. The institute's
commitment to infrastructure development is evident in the completion of the Archives, Ablution
block, and Resource centre. Furthermore, an ongoing initiative involves the construction of a perimeter
fence.
The Ministry, through the Infection Prevention and Control Program-IPC, is implementing has
prioritized implementation of interventions aimed at preventing harm caused by infections to patients
and health care workers. Within the period FY 2020/21-2022/2023, Key policy documents on IPC
were developed including the National Infection Prevention and Control Policy (2021), the National
Infection Prevention and Control Strategic Plan (2021-2025) and the National Infection Prevention
and Control in the context of COVID-19, (2021). The Ministry, in collaboration with implementing
partners, also strengthened the management, leadership, and governance of IPC services through
establishment and strengthening Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Committees both at the
National and county levels. County IPC coordinators were also appointed in all 47 counties to provide
leadership and coordination of IPC measures.
The Ministry is implementing the Quality-of-Care Certification Framework that defines the process of
ensuring delivery of quality health services to the Kenyan population. This has been achieved through
implementation of the Kenya Quality Model for Health (KQMH) which is designed to guide and
facilitate quality improvement through regular assessment for quality of health services delivery.
Within the period under review, all 47 County Health Management Teams (CHMT) and hospital
management teams were trained on Kenya Quality Model for Health (KQMH) and are able to assess
quality of care using KQMH tool. In the FY 2022/23, a total of 109 health facilities were assessed
using KQMH standards compared to 50 health facilities assessed in the previous financial year. To
ensure institutionalization of quality improvement initiatives in provision of health services within the
counties, three quality of care coaches in each county have been identified and capacity built. Quality
Improvement Teams have been set up in the counties and health facilities and are continuously
mentored in continuously improving the quality of health care. One hundred and forty (140) county
health inspectors from all counties were also trained to assess health facilities on compliance to quality
and patient safety standards using Joint Health Inspection Checklist. The county health inspectors
conduct routine inspection of health facilities in their respective counties under the coordination of
Kenya Health Professions Oversight Authority and also other regulatory agencies.
93
negative effects of health worker migration to foreign countries, the Sector developed a draft health
worker migration policy which was later incorporated into the National Labour Migration Policy. In
the FY 2022/2023 the MOH On-boarded 6, 248 Interns of various cadres as shown in the table below
for a one-year program.
The Ministry has continued to strengthen the legislative and regulatory framework for the health sector.
Within the period under review, key legislation was developed including the National Health Insurance
94
Fund (Amendment) Act, 2022 and the Mental Health (Amendment) Act, 2022. Within the same period,
key legislation was also developed and assented into law, including the Digital Health Act 2023, the
Primary Health Care Services Act 2023, the Social Health Insurance Act 2023 and the Facility
Improvement Fund Act 2023. The Ministry also reviewed several proposed legislations from
Parliament e.g., the Kenya Drugs Authority Bill, 2022, Health (Amendment) Bill, 2022 and cancer
prevention and control (Amendment) Bill, 2022.

Disjointed Warehouses Impacting Efficiency: The presence of
disconnected warehouses throughout Nairobi had a detrimental
effect on route integration and resulted in prolonged order

order turnaround times.
Insecurity in Remote Areas: Insecurity in hard-to-reach regions

The Hospitals’ FY2022/23 approved AIA budget was KSh 2.836Billion however, the hospital was
able to collect KSh 2.918Billion for FY2022/23. This was mainly attributed to increased patients'
number, operationalized specialized clinics and other clinical areas such as the Integrated
Molecular Imaging Center. The compensation of employees grew from the budgeted KSh 3.020B
to KSh 3.215B in the FY 2022/2023. This was due to recruitment of new staff to operationalize
the hospital. The utilities grew by 40% this was due increased operational cost.
AIA collection at the Hospital is still a function of the County Government. However, the
implementation of the MOU is still on-going and the issue of AIA collection is being addressed to
allow for the AIA to reflect against the Hospitals budget. In regard to PE Absorption, the on-
boarding of staff from Gatundu Level V Hospital to KUTRRH is Work in Progress and this will
increase the PE budget absorption once the exercise is complete.

In the FY 2020/21, FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23, the actual expenditure in PE was attributed to
the implementation of SRC job evaluation phase II for recruitment of 65 employees to help in
UHC and Covid-19 management.
Deficit in FY 2021/22 and 2022/23 is attributed to increased PE due to Court order dated 14
October Case no 37 of 2010 which ordered reinstatement of 34 employees.
In the FY 2022/23, there was an increase in AIA by KSh 58M from the approved budgeted amount
of KSh 184M. The growth was attributed to sale of commercial products (t-bicide and sanitizers).
This trajectory is however not sustainable considering there are currently many players
manufacturing the same products.

*KEMSA Actual AIA and expenditure for FY 2022/23 was slightly above budget due
impairment loss and forex exchange loss suffered by the Authority
KEMSA total expenditure for FY2022/23 was KSh 4.79 Billion marking a substantial 55%
increase from the previous financial year (FY 2021/22) performance of KSh 3.08 billion. In
comparison to the budget, this represented a 122% performance. This increase can be attributed to
tax penalties imposed on the Authority and losses incurred due to a weakening shilling in foreign
exchange. The mandatory costs were funded through the Authority's collection of outstanding
debts.
Compensation for employees has shown a declining trend, reducing from KSh 1.264 billion (FY
2020/21) to KSh 1.224 billion (FY 2021/22) and further to KSh 1.208 billion (FY 2022/23). This
continued decrease in compensation of employees is attributed to the ongoing human resource
reorganization within KEMSA. There has been no increase in GOK funding for KEMSA
personnel, with allocations remaining at KSh 125 million (FY 2020/21), KSh 100 million (FY
2021/22), and KSh 120 million (FY 2022/23). This lack of GoK support on personnel emoluments
has placed significant constraints on the Authority's liquidity, as the disbursed funds do not
adequately cover the Authority's Personal Emoluments.
National Commodities Storage Centre (KEMSA Supply Chain center) construction updates; The
project was originally planned to be completed in 130 weeks, commencing in April 2018.
However, the project's completion has been delayed due to the unavailability of funds. The
allocation of KSh. 310 FY 22/23 million was not received and KSh. 250 million FY 2020/21 were
also not received.

In FY2022/23, the Fund had projected to collect revenue amounting to KSh 93 billion however it
missed the target by 12% and collected KSh 82.1 billion. The slight negative variance was
attributable to the low retention rate, especially in the informal sector of the national scheme due
to adverse selection of the members under this sector and the difficult economic times experienced
in recent years. The NHIF 2018-2022 strategic plan targeted a member retention rate of 88% for
the formal sector and 74% for the informal sector. However, the actual performance of 77% and
22% for formal and informal sectors respectively in FY 2022/23 affected the revenue collected.
Further, In FY 2022/23 the total member benefits paid amounted to 74.2 billion compared to a
budget of KSh 79.1 billion representing a performance of 94%. Compared to premiums and
contributions for the year, the benefit pay-out ratio stood at 90% higher than the projected pay-out
ratio of 85%. Benefits paid out have continued to grow over the last three years amounting to KSh
52.6 billion in FY 2020/21, KSh 68.6 billion in FY 2021/22 and KSh 74.2 billion in FY 2022/23.
Personnel emoluments amounted to KSh 5.2 billion compared to a budget of KSh 6 billion while
other recurrent expenditure amounted to KSh 3.5 billion vis-à-vis a budget of KSh. 4.1 billion.
The deficit of KSh 908.6 million in FY2022/23 was attributed to the low income collected during
the period.

In FY 2022/23, The NACC did not receive the full allocation for the FY2022/23 as provided in
the approved estimates resulting to the variance between the approved budget for FY 2022/23 and
the actual for FY 2022/23. An amount of KSh 186M was not disbursed. This affected the
effectiveness of the NACC planned activities and committed objectives resulting to Pending Bills.
The majority of the NACC programmes are recurrent in nature as they involve facilitating
communities and stakeholders to undertake prevention interventions, capacity building of
communities and advocacies. For this reason, the NACC recurrent budget is n4ot only for PE and
utilities but also for programme operations therefore more resources should be allocated for the
recurrent expenditures.
In FY 2022/23, the National Cancer Institute of Kenya was allocated Kshs140 million as Recurrent
grant representing a 15% increase in allocation compared to KSh.120 million allocated in 2021/22.
NCI-Kenya successfully utilized allocated GOK funds to cater for its various administrative and
programmatic activities, with 100% absorption rates reported in FY 2021/22. However, there was
non-release of KSh 18Million which led to accrual of pending bills.
In the FY2022/23, the Kenya Tissue and Transplant authority was allocated Kshs241Milion as
recurrent grants. The KTTA successfully utilized allocated GoK funds to cater for its various
services and programmatic activities, with 100% absorption rate reported in the same year.

The pending bills under the category of goods and services are the outcome of unpaid invoices
of KSh. 4,153 billion, which have been delayed due to outstanding debts owed to the Authority
by counties, development partners, and the Ministry of Health.
The pending bill under employee compensation pertains to the accrued half salary of KSh. 16
million for staff who are currently on suspension.
In addition, on 11th April, 2022, KEMSA received KRA assessment/ Demand Notice from
KRA for Corporation Tax and Value Added Tax (VAT) of KSh. 3,010,854,284 as Total debts.
Following this huge tax liability, the organization engaged a tax consultant to work with KRA
on tax the tax workings. After several considerations a revised tax obligation was arrived at
KSh. 1,265,576,505 which was to be paid in instalments of 22 months.
The Pending Bill under the Recurrent budget was due to non-remittance of capitation to
KEMRI in the FY2017/18 (KSh 139M), FY2018/19 (Kshs153M) and KSh 25M in the FY
2022/23.
The pending Bill is also compounded by KEMRI Retirement Benefits Scheme (DB) which was
established in 1983 and has an actuarial valuation deficit of KSh 2.037 Million as at 30th June
162
2021. The Institute has not been able to settle outstanding benefits amounting to KSh 587.7
Million. As a result, retirees have taken the Institute to court demanding payment of their
benefits. This may have an adverse effect in the financial position of the Authority.
Under development budget, the pending bill refers to development grant of KSh 20 Million not
remitted to KEMRI in the FY2017/18, KSh 27 Million in the FY2021/22 and KSh 92Million
in the FY2022/23. The Institute committed to pay vendor debts and the interest that accrued
over the years following the collapse of the CDC/Kisumu CoAg in 2015.
The Hospital’s Pending Bills under the Use of goods and services category are as a result of
unsettled invoices that are delayed by the resultant non-collection of debt owed to the hospital
by indigents patients. The NSSF contribution pending bills relates to arrears for the period July
1991 to November 2009 when the Minister had not given express authority for exemption in
contribution. The hospital has been including this amount in its budget for consideration for
funding and to date it remains unfunded.
The Defined Benefits (DB) scheme for KNH has a deficit of KSh 9.526 billion as at 30th June
2023 arising from the actuarial valuation for the closed-to-new-member scheme.
The tax liability of KSh. 696M comprises of two components: Tax Liability of KSh 81 Million
is Interest payable to Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) arising from tax penalties and interest
following an in-depth audit in 2014 and tax demand by KRA for Corporation tax KSh 615

Following the transfer of the Mama Margaret Kenyatta Hospital to KNH, claims which were
incurred prior to handover are awaiting settlement. These include: Compensation for
compulsory acquisition of land at KSh 53.3M following a court decree; KSh 47M for
consultancy services; The final account payment for construction works estimated at KSh 99M;
and Equipment supply estimated at KSh 200M.
The Pending Bills of KSh 97Million is as a result of unsettled invoices due to non-collectability
of debt owed to the hospital by indigent patients.
The NACC did not receive its FY2022/23 4th Quarter Recurrent Budget allocation resulting to
the variance between the approved budget for FY 2022/23 and the actual for FY 2022/23. An
amount of KSh 186M was not disbursed. This rendered the NACC incapable of conducting all
the planned activities and non-fulfilment of some committed objectives resulting to Pending
Bills.

The pending bill of KSh 1,262 Million for FY2021/22 relates to payment of Suppliers for goods
and services as at 30th June 2022. This was as a result of the use of the Hospitals’ A-I-A to
supplement its wage bill as a first charge because of inadequate provision for PE and Indigent
patients who are unable to pay their bills for services offered by the hospital resulting to waivers
of Kshs.400 Million annually.
The Pending bill of KSh 22Million relates to payments owed to service providers especially
for provision of conference services and provision of cancer sensitization media coverage.
These expenses had been budgeted for under the Institute’s Annual Procurement Plan but due
to non-remittance of exchequer the Institute was unable to process the payments.

CHAPTER THREE: MEDIUM TERM PRIORITIES AND FINANCIAL
PLAN FOR THE MTEF PERIOD
The Sector is committed to translating the government priorities to realize the constitutional right
to health by ensuring Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through.
1. Universal seamless health insurance system comprising Social Health Insurance cover
(SHI).
2. Fully publicly financed primary healthcare (Curative, outpatient and basic diagnostic
services), that gives patients choice between public, faith based and private providers,
based on a regulated tariff.
3. National fund for chronic and catastrophic illness and injury costs not covered (or with
very restrictive cover) by insurance (cancer, diabetes, strokes & accident rehabilitation,
pandemics) to be funded by a combination of insurance levy and Government.
4. Enhanced prevention and promotion of health through community involvement and
ownership to reduce disease burden due to preventable causes.
5. Strategic recruitment, management, and retention of Human Resources for Health for
enhanced quality health care.
6. Strengthened governance and administration of health services, quality health standards &
regulations.
These pillars are aimed at primarily preventing disease and promoting good health for general
wellness and wellbeing. They also ensure that any Citizen who otherwise, falls ill, will have access
to quality affordable healthcare without the risk of getting into financial hardship with a special
focus on the poor and vulnerable. Strengthened governance, emphasis of standards and quality of
care have been identified as core to the delivery of healthcare. The sector has also prioritized
human resources for health that impact quality of care as well as digitization of Health services.
Digitization will increase efficiency, transparency and ensure seamless service delivery between
providers across all levels of the health system. It will also enhance claims management at health
facilities for reimbursable services and commodity management through provision of end-to-end
supply chain management.
Sector financing will be strengthened, and the sector will collaborate with the county government
to ensure retention of funds collected at health facility level for improvement of the facility
operations. Most importantly, the Sector, County governments, and the National Treasury will also
engage in considering ring-fencing of funds for Health Products and Technologies (HPT). Primary
171
Care Networks will be established and operationalized in the counties to offer effective services
to the community through proper referrals and engagement of multidisciplinary teams right from
the community level.
Overall, these programmes aim at achieving improved accessibility, affordability of quality health
services, reduction of health inequalities and optimal utilization of health services and promotion
of health. The following are the programmes and respective sub-programmes to be implemented
during the period, FY 2024/25-2026/27.
The Health Sector will implement the following 8 programmes and sub programmes, 4 in each
State Department, in the Financial Years FY 2024/25-2026/27 which are in line with the priorities
mentioned above:
4. Programme 4: General Administration and Support Services. To offer Governance and enabling
services for service delivery

CHAPTER FOUR: CROSS-SECTOR LINKAGES, EMERGING ISSUES/
CHALLENGES
The purpose of this chapter is to highlight the linkages that exist within and without the Health
Sector, emerging issues, and challenges that impact on the efficiency of operations aimed at attaining
the best standards of healthcare.
The Constitution of Kenya 2010 establishes two distinct and interdependent levels of governments
consisting of the national and 47 county governments with specific functions. These two levels must
conduct their service provision through consultation and cooperation in order to effectively deliver
their mandates.
The multi-sectoral approach in healthcare provision is critical in addressing the various social
determinants of health that lie outside the control of the health system. It is therefore critical to
maintain and enhance actions across multiple Sectors to ensure the gains made through the expansion
of healthcare services are not eroded.
In implementing its mandate, the health sector interacts with key stakeholders as outlined in the
Health Sector Partnership Framework 2018-2030, resulting in the efficient delivery of health
services, optimal utilization of resources, and accountability. Kenya has a robust health system that
has evolved over the years from a centralized system at independence, graduating to a decentralized
and currently devolved system with Counties having the mandate of ensuring healthcare services are
provided to all. Private health sector, Faith Based Organizations, and Non-Governmental
Organizations provide health services at delivery points that range from communities to referral
hospitals.
Key Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDAs) have been identified as enablers for UHC, as
they facilitate the moving of services closer to the people, in the spirit of citizen-centeredness. The
MDAs provide complimentary services that are key to a healthy population, these include, access to
safe water, diverse food of optimal quality, and quality education that results in improved quality of
life, including cash transfer and employment. These MDAs include; Labour and Social Protection,
Water and Sanitation, Energy, ICT, Education, and Agriculture, among others.
There is also an increasing complexity of government operations aimed at meeting the diverse needs
of an ever-growing population, who are living longer, and thus more prone to non-communicable
diseases. There are also more modern treatments and interventions that require advanced capacity to
operate. The ever-changing environment marked by emerging diseases, globalization, digitization,
and climate change is having direct impacts on health.

1. CROSS-SECTOR LINKAGES
The multi-sectoral approach in health care provision is critical in addressing the various social
determinants of health that lie outside the control of the health system. It is therefore critical to
maintain and enhance actions across multiple Sectors to ensure the gains made through the expansion
of healthcare services are not eroded.
In implementing its mandate, the health sub-sector interacts with key stakeholders outlined in the
Health Sector Partnership Framework 2020-2030, resulting in the efficient delivery of health
services, optimal utilization of resources, and accountability. Kenya has a robust health system that
has evolved over the years from a centralized system at independence, graduating to a decentralized
and currently devolved system with Counties having the mandate of ensuring healthcare services are
provided to all. Private health sector, Faith Based Organizations, and Non-Governmental
Organisations provide health services at delivery points that range from dispensaries to hospitals.
Key Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDAs) have been identified as enablers for UHC, as
they facilitate the moving of services closer to the people, in the spirit of patient-centeredness. The
MDAs provide complimentary services that are key to a healthy population, these include; access to
safe water, diverse food of optimal quality, and quality education that results in improved quality of
life, including cash transfer and employment. These MDAs include; Public service, Education,
Agriculture, Roads, Water, Energy, and ICT among others.
There is also an increasing complexity of government operations aimed at meeting the diverse needs
of an ever-growing population, who are living longer, and thus more prone to non-communicable
diseases. There are also more modern treatments and interventions that require advanced capacity to
operate. The ever-changing environment marked by emerging diseases, globalization, digitization,
and climate change is having direct impacts on health.
The Kenya Health Policy (KHP) 2014-2030 provides a framework for the attainment of the highest
possible standards of health in a manner responsive to the health needs of the population. Further,
the Health Sector Partnership and Coordination Framework is a framework to better coordinate all
health sector players and enablers and align efforts towards improving the health of all Kenyans.
The Government has continued to invest in the health sector to facilitate the well-being of its citizens
by availing quality healthcare services closer to the people; ensuring sustainability of the Nation’s
human capital base required for sustainable economic growth. This is attained through a
collaborative way by both the National and County Governments.
The collaboration is through policy and strategy formulation, planning, information sharing,
legislation, resource mobilization, programme implementation, setting of standards, capacity
building, and monitoring and evaluation. The intra-sectoral linkage therefore enhances the
realization of the sub-sector mandate on the right to health for all Kenyans.
291
4.3 INTER SECTORAL LINKAGES AND STAKEHOLDERS
Social determinants of health in a population go beyond health-related interventions, and often
involve other non-health related determinants like education, poverty, access to clean water, food
security, and infrastructural development among others. In this regard cross-sectoral relations are
key in moving towards a healthy population. This section looks at ways that the health sector
collaborates with other sectors of the economy.
The sector has categorized stakeholders with various roles under four groups:
1. State actors (Departments and Agencies, County Governments);
2. Non-state actors (implementing partners, FBOs, NGOs, CSOs, Private sector);
3. External actors (Development partners); and
4. Clients (individual, household, community).
The linkages/partnership with stakeholders mainly focuses on issues that impact and contributes to
improved health care, quality of life, and productivity leading to the country's economic growth.
The various stakeholders play different roles which are complementary and synergistic at all levels
of health care.
The various stakeholders in the Sector and their contribution to healthcare delivery are shown in

Emerging health issues are those that pose either a threat or relief from threat to the overall health
of the population. They can be an increased visibility in a long-standing health issue that continues
to obstruct the public health goal of reducing morbidity, mortality and disability.
The following are some of the emerging health issues that need to be considered:
i. Artificial intelligence technology provides an opportunity to enhance the quality and
efficiency of health services provision;
ii. Climate change related calamities pose a great risk to the state of public health in the
country. The recent re-emergence of disease implicates the resilience of micro-organisms
to climatic conditions. Further, drought persistence has led to increased cases of
malnutrition as well as increase in WASH related diseases such as cholera, trachoma and
vector borne diseases;
iii. Emergence of novel health products and technologies posing human capacity and
regulatory challenges within the existing legislative framework;
iv. The health sector has positioned Kenya as a medical tourism hub through state of the art
facilities and skilled healthcare professionals. This call for need to undertake research on
procedures like cosmetic surgery, modern dental care and traditional medicine to ensure
quality and safety.
v. Emerging and re-emerging Diseases (Hemorrhagic fever, airborne viral epidemics, polio)
due to increased cross border travels and the reality heather to unforeseen-security
threats;
vi. Declining donor funding by development for strategic programs like TB, Malaria, Family
Planning, nutrition and immunization. This has been occasioned by the Kenya being
debased to Lower middle-income status and therefore need to progressively increase the
domestic allocations to cater for these programmes in order to maintain the gains made;
vii. Re-emergence of neglected tropical diseases e.g. elephantiasis, kalaazar including Multi
Drug resistant infectious agents.
4.5 CHALLENGES
The following are the challenges in the health sector;
300
i. Low awareness on the health insurance benefit package among the beneficiaries and
healthcare providers, with associated low uptake of health insurance due to apathy and poor
socio-economic status of many Kenyans;
ii. Weak health systems and Inadequate health infrastructure for provisioning of health services
during the pandemics;
iii. Inadequate Human Resource for Health especially specialized cadres and low absorption of
skilled health professional into the active workforce and recurring health workers unrest
impacting negatively provision of quality health care services;
iv. Inadequate budgetary provision for key health products resulting in unpredictable/uneven
supply of essential commodities (mainly, HIV, Malaria, TB and Nutrition, family planning
and NCD) due to declining donor funding and increasing cost of health products.
v. Sub optimal prioritization, overlapping and conflict of interest in health research for
informing health policies and interventions and service provision leading to different
stakeholders supporting the same service provision or program;
vi. Slow categorization of newly formed SAGAs thus delaying the execution of their mandates;
vii. Low level of digitization of the health records system and health supply chain where health
facilities continue to manage and report health and commodities data manually;
viii. Rising cases of communicable diseases such as HIV, TB and malnutrition, NCD such as
cancer and diabetes; and
301
CHAPTER FIVE: CONCLUSION
The Health Sector in Kenya aims to provide an efficient and high quality health care system with
the best standards by year 2030 as enshrined in the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of Kenya 2010.
The Sector takes cognizance of the opportunities and challenges in establishing strong health
systems that are responsive to the population under the current constitution that creates two levels
of government and delineates health care provision to the counties.
Substantial investments have been made by the Government to advance accessible, affordable, and
high-quality healthcare, with a strong focus on equity. Focus has been towards establishing
Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through publicly funded primary healthcare, creating a seamless
universal health insurance system, and allocating resources to cover a wide range of healthcare
services, including preventive, promotional, curative, rehabilitative, and palliative care.
During the period under review, the sector recorded significant milestones attributable to increased
prioritization and augmented funding for healthcare services. Safety programs for both patients and
healthcare workers have been implemented across all levels of healthcare to ensure the delivery of
high-quality services in secure healthcare environments. There have been considerable achievements
in the areas of infrastructural development and equipping of health facilities with modern equipment.
Notably, there has been commendable progress in quality of service in specialized health care
services in referral hospitals and research and innovation with a number of locally manufactured
HPTs. These achievements have been made possible through the adoption of a multi-sectoral
approach.
Despite these accomplishments, the sector continues to grapple with various challenges. These
challenges relate to inadequate funding, limited resources, human resource shortages, the persistent
issue of rising medical costs alongside low insurance enrollment and regulatory challenges for novel
and re-emerging products. As a result, the sector has not fully met the expectations of the public.
To address these challenges and enhance access to essential, high-quality healthcare services for
underserved, marginalized, and vulnerable populations, in line with the UHC Policy, several critical
actions are necessary. These actions involve strengthening adherence to established healthcare
standards, fostering collaboration and involvement across multiple sectors, promoting domestic
resource mobilization, investing in healthcare innovations and local production of healthcare
products and technologies, fortifying legislative and regulatory frameworks within the healthcare
sector.
The government's healthcare strategy places significant emphasis on Preventive health and health
promotion interventions, to align and support the Bottom Up Economic Transformation Agenda
(BETA). Therefore, the sector recognizes the essential nature of a multi-sectoral approach in
addressing the various determinants of health. It intends to collaborate with both government and
302
non-government entities, including Ministries, Departments, Agencies, County Governments, Faith-
Based Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations, Civil Society groups, the Private Sector,
external stakeholders, and patients, to achieve the goal of delivering high-quality healthcare services.
The adoption of a multi-sectoral approach is viewed as fundamental and rational in addressing the
numerous factors influencing health that extend beyond the healthcare system's control.
303
CHAPTER SIX: RECOMMENDATIONS
Maximizing health outputs and outcomes with the available resources remains the major focus for
the Sector during this Medium-Term Expenditure Framework. The sector has noted several
emerging issues and challenges that have faced the sector during the review period. To realize the
targeted outputs/outcomes and overcome the sector challenges, the following recommendations are
made:
i. There is need to provide social protection to citizens against the catastrophic cost related to
accessing health services through accelerating the implementation of the social health
insurance acts enacted in 2023 to address out-of-pockets costs, enhance access to quality
healthcare, bring services closer to households.
ii. Strengthen and expand the capacity on surveillance as part of preparedness including the use
of technology, analytics, infrastructure, human resource, cross-border and international
collaboration to enable early detection and guided response to potential public health
emergencies.
iii. Enhance Human Resource Capacity: Develop strategies to retain and attract skilled
healthcare professionals, through available structures to mitigate the impact of labor
immigration, labor unrest and improve the health workforce to population ratios and enhance
the technical and managerial skills of healthcare professionals through continuous capacity
development to ensures access to specialized services.
iv. Increase Resource Allocation: Increase budgetary provisions and ring-fence allocations to
reduce donor dependency for the sector to adequately address the health requirement
resource gaps in essential commodities and enable effective implementation of programs and
projects.
v. Provide adequate investment in research for health through performance-based grants to
local research institutes to promote technology and deliver innovative and sustainable health
care delivery solutions for the current and emerging health challenges including those
resulting from the effects of climate change.
vi. Strengthen Regulatory Frameworks: Review existing legal and policy frameworks to protect
the public and fulfil the health rights of all persons in Kenya to the progressive realization of
their right to the highest attainable standard of health. Further, this will ensure effective
regulation of health professionals, healthcare services, health products and technologies and
facilitate in a progressive and equitable manner, the highest attainable standards of health
service.
vii. Increase investments in digital data management and information systems: Invest in robust
health information systems to improve data collection, analysis, and utilization. Implement
electronic medical records, surveillance systems, and enhance data sharing mechanisms for
evidence-based decision-making.
304
viii. Health Promotion and Disease Prevention: Prioritize sector programs and campaigns aimed
at creating awareness for regular screening, access to treatment, palliative care and promoting
healthy behaviors.
