Kenya currently spends billions on health, yet households still finance approximately 27% of total health expenditure out of their own pockets. This forces millions into poverty every year. Medicine shortages, understaffed facilities, and long waiting times have become the norm.
The Clean Alliance Party of Kenya rejects this reality.
Under Pillar Two: Health in our Manifesto, we present a comprehensive, measurable plan:
- Reduce out-of-pocket expenditure to below 15% within the first five years through expanded public financing and strategic health insurance
- Recruit and deploy 10,000 additional health workers with priority to underserved counties
- Construct and fully equip 500 new primary healthcare centres and upgrade existing ones
- Prioritise local production of essential medicines and strengthen supply chains
- Expand community health systems with trained community health promoters in every ward
These commitments are rooted in our Social Democratic ideology, which views health as a fundamental social right. They also align with the Party’s founding principles of social welfare and the protection of human dignity (Party Constitution, Article 3).
We will implement this through devolved structures — County Executive Committees working directly with the National Elections Board to ensure transparency in health project implementation.
SAUTI YA HAKI means no Kenyan should lose a loved one or fall into poverty simply because they cannot afford treatment.
The time for half-measures is over. Join CAP-K and help us build a Kenya where quality healthcare reaches every home.
