The MoH allocated Sh9 billion to Preventive and Promotive Health services which is one of the components of PHC services. Nevertheless, the movement in response to this issue has planned to establish health facilities closer to the people. But one very worrying thing is that most of the PHC supporting health facilities are poorly equipped, the doctor-patient ratio is poor. Kenya among other countries has gone further and committed to implementing Universal Health Coverage (UHC) to ensure “health for all.” UHC is expected to promote quality, accessibility, and health that will relieve the citizens from the burden of health financing health. The Community Health Workers need to be motivated by increasing their stipend.
