The Kenya government officially adopted in July the 2020—2030 Kenya Health Financing Strategy, which provides direction on how the nation will mobilize resources to finance health services to improve access for all. HP+ supported the Ministry of Health this year in revising a draft of the strategy to accommodate new government policies and reflect new research evidence on healthcare financing since the previous version was developed in 2015/16. The strategy outlines how the country aims to achieve universal health coverage and increase access to services for all through strengthened health systems. When fully implemented, the strategy will help Kenya deliver quality care for all and increase the proportion of the total population covered under mandatory prepayment schemes to 85 percent. The strategy also calls for the government to increase its spending on health to 13 percent of total government spending. A national launch of the strategy is planned in the coming months followed by rollout of the interventions, including development of legal and structural instruments and other supportive systems for implementation of the KHFS. HP+ will provide technical assistance to the MOH to organize the launch, design communication and advocacy activities, and support stakeholder engagement on proposed health financing reforms.
