Over the past decade, Kenya's health sector has undergone significant policy evolution, shaped by two major national development frameworks - the Big Four Agenda (2017-2022) and the current Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
Health has been prioritised under both frameworks as a social and economic pillar.
It was initially framed around Universal Health Coverage (UHC) under the Big Four and is now integrated as a foundational enabler of inclusive economic growth under BETA.
We are now at an inflection point, where structural policy ambitions must translate into system-wide resilience and long-term health gains.
