The Constitution of Kenya considers health under the Bills of Rights as an economic and social right and emphasizes that ‘every person has the right to the highest attainable standard of health’ which includes the right to health care services as well as right to reproductive healthcare services. Towards realization of these rights, the constitution devolves critical services that include health services to be managed by county governments. The County Governments Act 2012, that provides the framework for the governance of county governments, requires counties to develop county integrated development plans (CIDP) as well as sectoral plans to guide the development of the counties. The sectoral plans harmonize and facilitate development initiatives and strategies to be contained in the county’s CIDP. This health sector investment plan therefore provides and outlines the priority interventions that the county will undertake in the medium term to facilitate the delivery of health services in the county. In addition, the plan is expected to guide investments from both locally and externally generated support.
