The sector deals with health services, sanitation, water supplies, solid and liquid waste management, physical planning, environment and climate change. The county government, in partnership with development partners, will continue to emphasize on primary healthcare, access to clean water, safe disposal of waste, protection of the environment and better management of communicable diseases.

The sector forms critical linkages with other main productive sectors namely; agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, and energy. These sectors are heavily dependent on the use of natural resources that are derived from the environment. Environmental issues are also closely linked to other sectors of the economy such as planning, population dynamics, finance, and trade. To achieve sector objectives, good coordination, adequate funding, and sound management policies are therefore necessary.
