Governance in health addresses the actors involved in governing the health sector
(MoHS and stakeholders), what needs to be governed and, to a limited extent, how it
will be done. The MoHS has multiple leadership responsibilities, including policy
formulation, setting standards and regulations, collaboration and coalition building,
monitoring and oversight and resource mobilisation. In this regard, the MoHS is
expected to provide leadership and to coordinate the efforts of all health care providers
and financers at all levels of care. It is therefore necessary to review the MoHS structure
at all levels to reflect this enhanced role, especially critical in the on-going
decentralisation process, and the necessary capacity be developed during the plan
period.
