The government has said that they are taking proactive steps by introducing four groundbreaking bills designed to revolutionise the nation's healthcare framework.
The bills include Primary Health Care and Primary Care Networks, Digital Health, Health Finance, Health Products and Technologies, and Human Resources for Health (HRH).
PS for Public Health and Professional Standards Mary Muthoni revealed this when he met the Private Hospital Owners Association on Monday.
The meeting sought to explore the vital role of the private sector in healthcare service delivery.
The government and the Private Owners Association explored potential partnerships that will drive Universal Health Coverage.
During their discussions, they explored opportunities for collaboration during the upcoming Mashujaa week, with a central theme of "Universal Health Coverage."
Both parties expressed a commitment to extending their collaboration far beyond the Universal Health Coverage event.
They said that the event is significant in advancing healthcare accessibility for all.
The meeting marked a significant stride towards bridging public and private sector efforts in the healthcare arena.
Recognising that achieving Universal Health Coverage demands collective action, the collaboration between the State Department and the Private Hospital Owners Association promises to be a catalyst for positive change in the nation's healthcare landscape.
The upcoming Mashujaa week holds great promise as a platform to highlight and advance the cause of Universal Health Coverage.
The government's introduction of the transformative bills signifies a determined commitment to restructure the healthcare system.
PCNs play a pivotal role in weaving the intricate threads of our healthcare system.
They are instrumental in integrating care across all levels, making our healthcare delivery more efficient and accessible.
However, their impact goes beyond logistics. PCNs embody inclusivity, ensuring that every individual, regardless of their circumstances, has access to quality healthcare.
They establish a robust emergency referral system, a lifeline in times of crisis.
