Enhancing Intersectoral Collaboration in Maternal Healthcare for the Realization of Universal Health Coverage in Kenya
Intersectoral collaboration is an instrument that enables better productivity by filling in for possible gaps in knowledge, skills, and competencies in a given department by leveraging them from other departments. In Kenya, there is a paucity of information on intersectoral collaboration in healthcare. This article explores the possibilities of intersectoral collaboration, specifically in maternal healthcare, and what can be done to realize such …
Contextual challenges experienced by CHVs in the informal use of mobile phones within integrated community case management (ICCM) in Nyaguda sub-location, Western Kenya
Since the 1990s, Kenya has made substantial progress towards reducing child mortality. However, Kenya still lags behind regional and global averages in child mortality rates. Developing countries like Kenya face constraints in health system performance and access to services, especially in hard-to-reach areas such as Nyaguda sub-location calling for integrated care. Yet, it faces challenges that the everyday use of mobile phones could potentially…
Non-adherence to antiretroviral treatment among migrating fishermen in western Kenya’s islands
Fishing communities in many Sub-Saharan African countries are a high-risk population group disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic. The association of migration with HIV and AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa is well documented. Frequent mobility, high consumption of alcohol, multiple sexual partners, transactional and commercial sex, poor health infrastructure and limited access to health services are reported among the main factors shaping the …
Anti-Politics and Free Maternal Health Services in Kilifi County, Kenya
Maternal healthcare is a global agenda. Kenya introduced free maternity services (FMS) in 2013 to allow women to give birth for free in all government public health facilities. The introduction of FMS was timely due to the high maternal mortality rate in Kenya. FMS was also introduced to fulfil the Jubilee Party government’s elections campaign promises. It is, however, not known how primary beneficiaries and health providers perceived the FMS rol…
Access to Maternal Health Services During the Covid-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 has spread rapidly in Kenya and has not spared pregnant women. Evidence from Kenya shows that during the COVID-19 pandemic, health systems have been either stressed to their maximum capacity or are becoming overwhelmed. However, the population is advised not to attend hospital unless strictly necessary, and this advice seems to apply to all, including expectant mothers. There is a dearth of information on how poor expectant mothers with …
Men's Emic Perspectives on Factors Contributing to Child Sexual Abuse Vulnerability on the Islands of Western Kenya
Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a major global health concern. Although it is prevalent in Kenya, there is scant literature on what factors contribute to CSA vulnerability on Kenya’s islands. This paper is based on a cross-sectional study of men’s perspectives on factors contributing to CSA vulnerability on Kenya’s islands. This qualitative study, therefore, focused on opinion leaders, children’s officers, male community members, and boat owners from…
Wimbo
Medical male circumcision has been shown to reduce the risk of heterosexual transmission of HIV infection in men by up to 60% in three randomised controlled trials. However, not much anthropological literature exists to provide a holistic understanding of sexual behaviour among migrating fishermen who have been circumcised. This qualitative study used cultural ecology theory and anthropological methods to develop a more holistic understanding of …
