The objectives of this report were to audit all the national and counties policies and legislation in the health sector with a view of ascertaining the extent to
which they conform to the devolved system of governance and to identify gaps and
challenges and make recommendations for harmonization and alignment. Kenya had committed itself to various regional and international human rights instruments that required state parties to implement and facilitate the realization of the right to health. All the national laws and regulation relating to health should be urgently reviewed to align them to the Constitution. This will assist in facilitating better understanding and compliance by national and county staff with the devolved system of governance. A County government needs to put in place county implementation frameworks (County policies, laws ,regulations, guidelines) for the health sector which will better guide county staff to deliver improved health services to the citizens.
