Kenya Health Sector Human Resources Strategy 2014-2018

Kenya’s health sector recognizes that human resources for health constraints are a critical ingredient hampering Kenya’s health sector planning, service delivery and ultimately national health outcomes. Against this background, the sector has taken on the task of defining long-term strategies for addressing the constraints to human resource development and management so as to effectively improve health service delivery. Thus, this strategy presents an analysis of the current human resources situation in the country, the contextual factors, and some of the influences, key issues and constraints across the sector. To address these issues, the plan proposes a series of interlinked strategies to remedy the situation and improve the quality and efficiency of service delivery under the devolved system of government.
