Abstract: Public health institutions in Trans Nzoia County were at the forefront of collaborating with the Ministry of Health (MOH) to implement crucial reforms aimed at ensuring quality service delivery and better performance. However, according to the Ministry of Health, public health institutions in Trans Nzoia County continued to face challenges such as funding by the National and County Governments, remuneration and welfare of healthcare workers, and the availability of adequately skilled manpower, all of which hindered service delivery. This concern motivated numerous scholars in strategic management to explore the topic, thereby identifying a research gap. The study primarily aimed to examine how the strategic planning in Trans Nzoia County affected the performance of public health institutions. Primary data was collected from the 87 public health institutions within Trans Nzoia County for the 2019-2023 period. The data was analyzed using SPSS Version 22 software. A descriptive research design was adopted, with stratified sampling as the technique. Findings were presented in tables. This study's results showed that strategic planning positively relates to hospital performance but were not significant at the 95% confidence level. The study recommendation is that an organization's management should be able to align its goals and objectives with the implementation strategy and communicate the strategies to staff for a sense of belonging and motivation.
Keywords: Strategic Planning, Performance.
