Amid the changes in the public health sector, Kenyans are set to benefit as the Ministry of Health completes and enacts quality standardisation legislation.

Known as the Quality-of-Care Bill, the law, when passed, is expected to fill a major gap in health outcomes and instil quality improvement as an organisation practice in public and private hospitals. This will be in line with the ambition to achieve zero preventable patient mortalities.
