Abstract
With an emphasis on Kenya’s Universal Healthcare Coverage (UHC) initiative, this study tackles big data challenges in the healthcare that could potentially affect millions of people. Examining ownership, privacy, consent from patients, existing legal framework, and cybersecurity, the study attempts to strengthen a safe base for the implementation of UHC. Based on institutional theory, it makes the assumption that examining current legislation will provide important information for the control of healthcare data. Effective service delivery, data protection, and adherence to global norms are advocated by this study, which has implications for healthcare institutions, citizens, and international commitments. The literature study emphasises how important it is to have strong legal frameworks, ethical standards and infrastructure while transitioning to digital healthcare administration.
