The USAID-funded Health Policy Project (HPP), the Health Policy Plus (HP+) project’s predecessor, provided extensive technical assistance to Kenya’s Ministry of Health to develop the KenyaHealth Act, 2017, which was introduced into law last month (July 2017). The act obliges Kenya to provide access to health services to vulnerable groups, mandates the provision of emergency and specialized care, and ensures the provision of free maternity care, vaccinations for children under age five, and workplace breastfeeding facilities. The Health Act also formalizes collaboration between national and county governments with the legalization of the Health Sector Inter-governmental Consultative Forum—a positive step in the country’s continued devolution.
