Healthcare workers on duty.[Courtsey]
The promulgation of the Constitution in 2010 marked a defining moment in our nation's history. It introduced devolution to address decades of regional inequality by transferring power and resources from the national government to 47 county governments.
Among the functions devolved was healthcare, with the aim of bringing services closer to citizens and allowing counties to respond to local health needs.
More than a decade later, devolution has undeniably expanded access to healthcare. Counties have built health facilities, improved maternal and child health services, invested in medical equipment, and brought healthcare closer to communities that had long been neglected. These achievements deserve recognition.
