Nairobi County Health Budget Three Year Trend Analysis7
Introduction1.0The commitment of the Government of Kenya to the highest attainable standards of health for every
citizen, alongside making health a basic commodity and constantly improving the standards of health in
the country is enshrined in the Constitution of Kenya, 2010.
The President of Kenya has further made health among his top priority areas in The Big 4 Agenda, besides
manufacturing, housing and infrastructure. Within the stretch of the agenda, health systems have seen
a steady improvement, starting with waived maternity fees in order to see through every pregnancy to
successful delivery, also with support from the Beyond Zero Initiative by the First Lady of Kenya. With
the piloting counties taking the first phase of Universal Health Coverage, UHC, for evaluation purposes
before a countrywide rollout, the government has demonstrated commitment to making high quality
health services accessible and available.
The 4th Schedule of The Constitution of Kenya, 2010, makes health a devolved function of the government,
where counties took up their responsibilities for:-
1. County Health Facilities and Pharmacies.
2. Promotion of primary healthcare.
3. Ambulance services.
4. Licensing and control of food sold to the public.
5. Refuse removal and waste disposal.
6. Veterinary services (apart from regulating).
7. Cemeteries, funeral homes and crematoria.
Thus, the National Government retains control of Health Policies, County capacity building and National
Health Referral Systems. This brought health closer to grass-roots and an increase in utility of services
was noted. However, a few conflicts between the National and Devolved Health Systems have been
reported as challenges that face the health sector such as lack of or late delivery of crucial medicine at
the health facilities, negligence in service, detention of corpses over outstanding hospital bills, and high
out-of-pocket costs. In the Sustainable Development Goals, goal 3 talks about Good Health and Well-
being that the Government has pledged to see through up to the realization of Vision 2030.
Nairobi County Health Budget Three Year Trend Analysis8
Background2.0
Childhood Mortality:
Nairobi has the second highest under-5 mortality
rate; following Nyanza (72 deaths per 1,000 live
births). Male children are more likely than female
children to die during their first year of life (44
deaths versus 37 deaths per 1,000 live births).
Once past infancy, male and female children aged
between 1 and 4 years of age experience the
same level of mortality (16 deaths per 1,000 live
births). The neonatal mortality rate for the five
years preceding the survey is 22 deaths per 1,000
live births, 1.4 times the post neonatal rate. The
perinatal mortality rate for the same reference
period is 29 deaths per 1,000 pregnancies (KDHS
2014).
Nairobi County, assigned County Code 047, is under the leadership of Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko. Nairobi
has the added advantage of hosting a number of National and International offices that support the
health systems including the Ministry of Health Nationally, by the virtue of being the largest city, and the
Capital City of the country. According to the 2009 National Population Census (KNBS), the population was
about 3,138,369, which is estimated to be about 4 million by 2018 (Kenya Demographics Profile, 2018). The
general percentage of population is 51% male, 49% female. Nairobi County sits on about 696 km2 of area,
with a population density of 4,515/km2.
Health-wise, the number of nurses per 100,000 people is 53, for doctors are 14 only (Kenya Service
Availability and Readiness Mapping Report, 2013).
There are about 161 public health facilities, 118 NGO run facilities, 100 Faith Based and about 543 private
facilities making the private sector the majority shareholder of health services in the county. The total
National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) coverage stands at 35.2% (NHIF; Current (2014) projections
based on 2012 data). However, only 10% of public health facilities provide comprehensive youth friendly
services. (SARAM)
Averagely a woman in Nyanza had their first birth about three years earlier than a woman in Nairobi
Nairobi County Health Budget Three Year Trend Analysis10
Age at First Marriage:
In health statistics, the age at first birth influences
total fertility rate, how many children that are born
to a woman eventually and family planning, due
to the predisposal to child bearing at early ages.
These figures reduce with age. In Nairobi, the
median age stands at about 22.1 years, the highest
median age for the same. This is attributed to a
number of factors such as education uptake and
literacy (KDHS, 2014). This research also showed
that men in urban areas such as Nairobi also
have high median ages at first marriage, at 23.8.
Subsequently, the age at first sexual intercourse
is also a factor that influences population growth
in many indicators. The KDHS, 2014 reported that
there was very minimal change, if any, compared
to the 2008-09 KDHS. Nairobi still maintains the
lowest age in sexual debut, at 19.3 years. This was
also attributed to education levels and wealth
quintile disparities. The age at first birth was
recorded in median, and Nairobi County recorded
the highest median age at first birth for women
between ages 25-49, at 22.2, compared to the
lowest being Nyanza with 18.9 years, median. This
implies that averagely a woman in Nyanza had
their first birth about three years earlier than a
woman in Nairobi (KDHS, 2014).
Teenage Pregnancy and Motherhood:
The implication of teenage pregnancy and
motherhood on mortality alongside morbidity
remained a health issue for both mother and child.
This was generally in containable levels, attributed
to the level of education in the county. The ideal
family size, if measured by teenage pregnancy
transitioned to motherhood, was lowest in Nairobi
County at 3.0 children, compared to the highest at
North Eastern being 9.3 children (KDHS 2014).
Current Use of Contraception:
Contraceptive prevalence rate stands at 58.3%
(KNBS, 2014) and the births delivered at a health
facility are at 88.7%, and looks to increase over
time given the investment in maternal health.
National statistics show that about 65% in
unmarried women and 58% (6/10) married women
currently use a family planning method, with
modern contraceptives being used more (53%).
Narrowing down to these modern contraceptives,
injectable contraception was more preferred.
Unmet Need for Contraception:
this refers to the desire to postpone or stop the
next birth by fecund women who are not using or
cannot access any method of contraception. The
unmet need in Nairobi is 11 percent.
Maternal and Child Health:
Nairobi had the second highest under-5 mortality
rate, at 72 deaths per 1000 births.
HIV/AIDS Prevalence and Knowledge:
Consistency in reporting of KDHS 08-09 and KDHS
2014 show that about 99.8% of respondents in a
survey in Nairobi are aware of HIV/AIDS. Besides
that, 86.8% of the respondents of the survey
were aware of HIV/AIDS prevention methods
and general management of the same, including
where to get services such as HIV testing and
Counseling.
Nairobi County Health Budget Three Year Trend Analysis11
The Kenya Health Policy 2014-2030 identifies the below key principles
as important in health delivery:
1. A participatory approach to delivery of interventions;
2. A people-centered approach to health and health interventions.
3. Equity in the distribution of health services and interventions.
4. Social accountability.
5. A multi-sectoral approach to realizing health goals.
6. Efficiency in the application of health technologies.
Purpose and Methodology of the Analysis3.0
The budget analysis was conducted to determine the budgetary allocations trends in the health
sector in Nairobi County. Specifically, it sought to:
1. Providing essential information on resource allocation in the FY 2015/16, FY 2017/18 and FY 2018/19
and the distribution of the resources per programme area in Nairobi County.
2. Ascertain Nairobi County’s three year progress in addressing health issues through budgetary
allocation.
3. Assess the Department of Health Budget allocation by the County Government of Nairobi over the
last three fiscal years. That is the FY 2016/17, 201718 and 2018/19.
3.1. Purpose of this Analysis
Nairobi County Health Budget Three Year Trend Analysis12
3. 2 Methodology
The study was a desk review of existing information, analysis and interpretation of available data and
documents on budgets and budget making process in Nairobi County. The primary documents were the
2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19 Financial Year Nairobi County Program Based Budgets.
Findings and Analysis4.0
4.1. Health Sector Allocation Trend Analysis: (By Programs)
The Nairobi County Integrated Development Plan 2018-2022 recognizes high youth population as a major
challenge but also a critical opportunity to tap into. Youth (15 - 29 years) represents 38.75 per cent of the
total population in the County. The CIDP however recognizes that youth face several challenges including
HIV/AIDS and other STDs. The county further recognizes Reproductive health of the youth as a major
challenge in Nairobi leading to teenage pregnancies and abortion. The county commits to provide youth
friendly services in the health care facilities in order to enhance access by this age group.
Further, the CIDP in Pillar Seven on Youth, Women, People Living with Disabilities and Social Protection,
the county identifies Lack of resource centers i.e. ICT, WIFI centers, High prevalence of STIs and HIV/AIDS
Teenage pregnancies, Low access to quality health services e.g. maternity and family planning and seeks
to among others increase resources for reproductive health services and construct and equip resource
centers. This is further reinforced in Pillar 3 on Education and Health where the county commits to among
others Prevent and manage HIV /AIDS and STIs through; promoting safe sex; preventing mother to child
transmission; screening of blood and safe use of medical instruments and strengthen county capacity to
respond to AIDS epidemic through improved funding, training, sensitization and awareness campaigns.
The CIDP also further commits to striving for commodity security in the health sector.
For the FY 2018/19, Nairobi County allocated the health department Ksh. 6,976,605,327 which is an
Nairobi County Health Budget Three Year Trend Analysis13
increase from the Ksh 6,921,002,549 and Ksh. 6,550,000,000 allocated to the department in FYs 2017/18,
2016/17 respectively. For the three fiscal years, General Administration, Planning and Support services
has had the highest allocation, This was followed by Curative services, Preventive and Promotive services
has had the least allocation.

Nairobi County Health Budget Three Year Trend Analysis18
4.2. Health Budget Strengths and Concerns 4.2.1. Strengths:
There’s been a gradual increase in the amount allocated to the health department from the county budget;
in the FY 2016/17, the health department was allocated 18.20% of the total budget, 20.56% in FY 2017/18,
and 21.76% in FY 2018/19.
The county has also invested in Preventive and Promotive services through the 3 fiscal years which will
see few occurrences of infections and deaths; the program was allocated Ksh 43,000,000 in FY 2016/17,
Ksh 57,184,287 in FY 2017/18 and Ksh 129,286,501 in FY 2018.19. Of this allocation, Reproductive Health
& Maternal Health got the highest percentage in FYs 2017/18, 2018/17 with amounts Ksh 28,158,456 and
86,754,956 respectively.
Strengthening of community health units, 210 centers were established in FY 2016/17, FY 2018/19
provides for a stipend for the CHVs at these centers.
Reduced amount of revenue got from donors (World Bank), Ksh 1,430,000,000 in FY 2016/17, Ksh 17,009,120
in FY 2017/18 Ksh. 54,429,184 in FY 2018/19 is an indication that the county is becoming less dependent
on donors and maximizing local revenue sources.
3.3.2. Concerns:
During our analysis, we noted some gaps within the budgets: -
General budget
1. Recurrent expenditure is continually increasing with KSH. 5,450,000,000 in FY 2016/17, KSH.
6,319,106,386 in FY 2017/18 and KSH. 6,375,249,327 in FY 2018/19 while development expenditure
has been decreasing over the fiscal years; KSH. 1,100,000,000 in FY 2016/17, Ksh 601,896,400 in FY
