Nairobi ,2025 The Ministry of Health has launched the Kenya Health Human Resource Advisory Council (KHHRAC) Strategic Plan 2025–2030, a roadmap aimed at strengthening Kenya’s health workforce and addressing staffing gaps and inequities across counties.
Speaking during the launch in Nairobi, Principal Secretary for Public Health and Professional Standards, Mary Muthoni, said the strategy will support targeted measures to improve health worker availability, equitable distribution, retention, and access to specialized care as Kenya advances Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
She noted that the plan will strengthen workforce planning, enhance health workforce data systems, and promote continuous professional development while supporting efforts to progressively move closer to the World Health Organization recommended threshold of 45 health workers per 10,000 population.
Ms. Muthoni added that the Strategic Plan aligns with the Constitution of Kenya, the Health Act, the Digital Health Act, Vision 2030, and the country’s broader UHC agenda.
The PS further called for stronger collaboration between national and county governments, professional bodies, development partners, and training institutions to ensure successful implementation of the strategy and equitable access to quality healthcare services across the country.
