Description
Kamau and MacNaughton read Kenya's model health coverage program through a human rights lens. Makueni County's scheme, MakueniCare, is widely praised as a working path to universal coverage, the United Nations goal for 2030. Their 2024 study draws on international, national, and county law plus thirty interviews with officials and civil society leaders.
Key principles come from a global covenant on social rights and Kenya's 2010 constitution, above all the right to health. The analysis traces how those principles shaped both the program's adoption and its daily running. The authors close with ways the scheme could hew closer to its rights roots. They present the county as a lesson in rights-driven health policy.
