The Structure and financing Of Health Care in Kenya
Abstract
Emerging from the discussion in this chapter (i.e. on the health
structure and policies), it can be said that in order for the objective
of 'health for 211' to be achieved, the government will have to
integrate health into the overall socio-economic development and match
it up with action. Since it is evident that non public health
providers are an important source of treatment in the country, the
government need to closely co-ordinate this sector and have it
integrated into its health-care system. Addi tionally, the Ministry
of Health should undertake to understand the reasons why planning
priorities are not being translated adequately into budgetary
estimates and actual expenditures. For this purpose a system for the
planning and implementation of resource allocations in conformity
with health policy is required.
The next chapter looks at the various sources of health finance
and where it is spent.
