Why Governors are opposed to Sh38m medical equipment

Nairobi, Kenya: In fulfilment of Schedule IV of the Constitution, the 47 County Governments have over the last two years undertaken a phased but sustained strengthening of the six pillars (Leadership and Governance; Service Delivery; Human Resources for Health; Strategic Information; Commodity Security; and Financing) of the Health System to ensure improved access and utilization of quality health services by residents.

Service delivery in the health sector has improved tremendously due to more focused, need based investments and closer supervision by the County Governments. Indeed, the last two years has witnessed more investment in the health sector by the County Governments in real, annualized resource deployment than in the 50 years between Independence and Devolution.
