Description:
In the last decade, evidence has emerged that user fees are regressive and undermine equitable access to essential health services, particularly for women and children. It is against this background that the government of Kenya took decisive action to remove user fees in dispensaries and health centers and to provide free maternal health services at all public health facilities in an effort to increase access to essential health services and reduce maternal mortality.
