dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the effect of strategic leadership on sustainable health systems in Taita Taveta County. The study was guided by the following objectives: to determine the influence of shareholder involvement on sustainable health systems, to establish the influence of financial allocations on sustainable health systems, to determine the influence of laws governing processes on sustainable health systems, and to investigate the influence of policy formulation on sustainable health systems in Taita Taveta County. The Institutional Theory and the Human Resource Theory formed the basis of theoretical framework for the study. The study employed descriptive research design. The study targeted a population of 662 people. Purposive and simple random sampling were used to sample 199 participants, which was 30% of the target population. Subject experts ascertained the content validity of the research instruments, whereas reliability of the questionnaire was ascertained through half-split method, a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.84 was obtained and this confirmed that the questionnaire was reliable. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically, while descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages and means were used to analyze the quantitative data. Further, the Pearson Product Moment of Correlation and regression analysis were used to test the hypotheses. The study established that shareholder involvement had a significant influence (p=0.001<0.05) on sustainable health systems, financial allocations had a significant influence (p=0.002<0.05) on sustainable health system, laws governing procedures had a significant influence (p=0.001<0.05) on sustainable health systems and policy formulation had a significant influence (p=0.002<0.05) on sustainable health systems. The study concluded that shareholder involvement, financial allocations, laws governing procedures and policy formulation had a significant effect on sustainable health systems in Moi County Referral Hospital in Taita Taveta County. It recommended that the Ministry of Health should devise an intensive in-service training of hospital managers on strategic leadership to empower the leaders with skills and knowledge on shareholder involvement, management of funds, formulation and implementation of policies. The County government of Taita Taveta should increase the amount of funds allocated to the hospital to enhance quality of care. The hospital leadership should also ensure proper management practices and effective supervisory functions in the hospital by ensuring that all laws governing the procedures in the hospitals are observed by all employees. The hospital leadership should revise policies and SOPs to be up to date with the current operations in the hospital.en_US
