Strengthening primary health care resilience through community innovation
Quito's experience highlights the potential of decentralised municipal governance to lead PHC reform through integrated, preventive, and community-based strategies. The findings provide valuable lessons for other cities in low- and middle-income countries seeking to enhance PHC resilience in fragile contexts. Strengthening digital capacity and ensuring institutional protection and funding for ESC will be key to sustaining progress
Human resource challenges in health systems
Sub-Saharan Africa has fewer medical workers per capita than any region of the world, and that shortage has been highlighted consistently as a critical constraint to improving health outcomes in the region. This paper draws on newly available, systematic, comparable data from 10 countries in the region to explore the dimensions of this shortage. We find wide variation in human resources performance metrics, both within and across countries. Many …
Understanding the performance of county health service delivery in Kenya
To better understand the wide variation of performance among county health systems in Kenya, this study investigated their performance determinants. We selected five counties with varied performance and examined their performance across five domains containing 10 thematic areas. We conducted a stakeholder analysis, consisting of focus group discussions and key informant interviews, and administered a quantitative survey to quantify the magnitude …
Performance assessment of the county healthcare systems in Kenya
INTRODUCTION: A well performing public healthcare system is necessary for Kenya to continue progress towards universal health coverage (UHC). Identifying actionable measures to improve the performance of the public healthcare system is critical to progress towards UHC. We aimed to measure and compare the performance of Kenya's public healthcare system at the county level and explore remediable drivers of poor healthcare system performance. METHOD…
Analysis of clinical knowledge, absenteeism and availability of resources for maternal and child health
OBJECTIVE: Assess the quality of healthcare across African countries based on health providers' clinical knowledge, their clinic attendance and drug availability, with a focus on seven conditions accounting for a large share of child and maternal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa: malaria, tuberculosis, diarrhoea, pneumonia, diabetes, neonatal asphyxia and postpartum haemorrhage. METHODS: With nationally representative, cross-sectional data from te…
Socio-economic inequality and inequity in use of health care services in Kenya
Through its focus on increasing affordability of care for all Kenyans, the newly launched universal health coverage scheme represents a crucial step towards reducing disparities in health care utilization. However in order to achieve equity in health and access to care such efforts must be paralleled by multi-sectoral approaches to address all key drivers of inequity: persistent poverty, disparities in living standards and educational achievement…
