dc.description.abstractThis study examined the current resource allocation decision-making processes, and the distribution of both financial and non-financial resources in the health sector. The study explored how the current resource allocation process has impacted on equity between provinces (equity being defined as equal resources for equal need). It went further to look at possible alternatives that could lead the Kenyan health sector towards geographical equity. The study focused on the public health sector because it is the largest provider of health care services in Kenya. The basic argument underlying the study was that, raising additional funds for health care (e.g. through user fees) might not lead to equity, if the additional resources were to be allocated within the current resource allocation process. Instead, the study argues that the first step towards equity in health care in Kenya is to distribute the current resources in a more equitable manner. This can only be done through the development and implementation of a better resource allocation process.en_ZA
