Abstract
Universal Health Coverage (UHC) ensures equitable access to quality healthcare without financial hardship. This study assessed UHC in Embu County, Kenya, using a cross-sectional design combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Data from 365 households and key informants were analyzed using SPSS and thematic analysis, with ethical guidelines strictly followed throughout. The study found higher UHC uptake among those educated or involved in UHC. Respondents felt politics didn’t hinder implementation, though statistical analysis showed it did. Legal frameworks from both governments support devolved healthcare. Strengthening civic education and stakeholder involvement is key to improving public awareness and participation in Universal Health Coverage.
