In a significant move towards achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), the Ministry of Health has joined forces with the Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission (EACC), Council of Governors, Development Partners, and Civil Society to develop a comprehensive roadmap aimed at eradicating corruption within the country's healthcare sector.
During a High-Level Meeting focused on the Prevention of Corruption in the Healthcare Sector, convened by the EACC, Mary Muthoni Muriuki, Principal Secretary of the State Department for Public Health and Professional Standards, shed light on the detrimental effects of corruption. She emphasized that corruption has been a major impediment to realizing a healthier Kenya, leading to escalating medical costs and pushing numerous households into the depths of poverty.
The collaboration's primary objective is to root out the pervasive grip of corruption, with the ultimate goal of restoring public trust in health institutions and improving service delivery across the nation.
Reaffirming the Ministry's dedication to upholding strict adherence to the Construction, Public Finance Management Act, Public Procurement and Disposal Act, and all other laws pertaining to the Health Sector, Ms. Muthoni underlined the importance of transparency and accountability in creating a brighter, healthier future for every Kenyan.
"The collective resolve of stakeholders to strengthen governance and foster transparency is truly encouraging. Together, we can enhance accountability systems, ensuring a healthier and more prosperous Kenya for all," stated the Principal Secretary, expressing her optimism for the positive impact of this united effort.

Why is @HunterMostafa talking about sectoral corruption risk management? In 2020, @KELINKenya & CSOs raised red flag that corruption in health sector is robbing country of critical funds for access to quality health, vaccines, drugs, equipment etc. See https://t.co/e8QudUReQL
Corruption in the health sector causes substantial harm. @UNDPKenya has partnered with @KELINKenya to strenghthen capacity of select #CSOs & #CBOs on #UNDP’s Sectoral Corruption Risk Management Methodology that uses risk management as a framework for addressing corruption.
Corruption risks, unmanaged, pose substantial negative impact on health & create access barriers to PLWD & other NCDs. Public sector & CSOs representatives in Malawi concluded workshop on corruption risk management based on @UNDP methodology & agreed on next steps @HelmsleyTrust
@UNDP has been taking the lead in supporting countries to address #corruption and reinforce integrity in the #health sector as part of its sector-wide approach to fighting corruption, also in 🇬🇼
