Kenya’s dedication to realizing Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is grounded in the constitutional guarantee of the “right to the highest attainable standard of health,” further reinforced through ongoing national health strategies and reforms designed to guarantee equitable access to high-quality, affordable healthcare for every individual.
Our vision at UHC is to guarantee equitable access to essential, high-quality health services for every person in Kenya, irrespective of socioeconomic background, ensuring inclusivity and comprehensive care.

The Ministry of Health has implemented key health reforms, such as digital health initiatives, health financing mechanisms like social health insurance and facility improvement financing, and the Primary Health Care (PHC) Act, all aimed at advancing Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Among its notable accomplishments are the expansion of well-equipped and digitally integrated community health promoters, improved access to essential services through multidisciplinary PHC teams, the scaling of integrated service delivery models, and strengthened coordination across the Kenya Essential Package for Health (KEPT) levels of care as part of broader sector-wide reforms.
