In 2013 the World Health Organization (WHO) published the report Protecting health from climate change: 
vulnerability and adaptation assessment. The aim was to provide basic and flexible guidance on conducting national or subnati...onal assessments of current and future vulnerability (the susceptibility of a population or region to harm) to the health risks of climate change, and of policies and programmes that could  increase resilience, taking into account the multiple determinants of climate-sensitive health outcomes.
That guidance has been a very useful tool, applied to more than 50 countries and settings, and has  helped countries to prepare their health contributions to United Nations Framework Convention on  Climate Change national adaptation plans.
Since the launch of the guidance, WHO, technical partners such as Health Canada, and countries  have learned much in terms of its applicability in different countries, at national and local levels. 
At the same time, knowledge on climate change and health has increased.
WHO, the Pan American Health Organization and Health Canada have produced this updated version,  which aims to better support countries in their assessments by proposing a simpler tool that incorporates all lessons learned.

In  December  2018,  the President  launched  the  UHC  pilot  covering  four  strategically  selected  counties-Isiolo, Kisumu, Machakos and Nyeri. It isplanned that by the year 2022, all persons in Kenya will be  able  to  use  the  essential  services  they  need  for  their  health...  and  wellbeing  through  a single unified benefit package, without the risk of financial catastrophe. Essential health products are considered an integral part of UHC andare an indispensable element  for  delivery  ofservices  andare  also  a  requirement  for  qualitycare.  Despite  this realization,  a  review  of  the  UHC  pilot  in  September  2019  established  that  whereas  the Kenya  Medical  Supplies  Authority  (KEMSA)  was  able  to  fill  up  to  80%  of  pharmaceutical items,  the  order  fill  rate  for medical  supplies was  less  than  50%for  level  2  and  3  facilities and as low as 30%for level 4 and 5 facilities.
