Understanding the role of ‘software’ in health system capacity for non-communicable disease response
Research on health system capacity to manage non-communicable diseases (NCDs) has largely focused on ‘system hardware’ such as infrastructure, workforce, and commodities. However, this overlooks the critical role of ‘system software’ elements, such as relationships, norms, and power, and the complex adaptive nature of health systems. This study aimed to explore how health system hardware and software elements interact to shape the capacity of the…
Understanding what factors influence community health worker involvement in hypertension service delivery in Kenya
The systematic involvement of community health workers (CHWs) in hypertension management can improve outcomes and achieve blood pressure control. However, much of this evidence is from effectiveness trials conducted under ideal conditions, with little evidence from programmes operating in routine conditions. In Kenya, recent policy changes have expanded CHW roles to routinely incorporate non-communicable disease (including hypertension) service d…
Access to hypertension services and health-seeking experiences in rural Coastal Kenya
Globally, hypertension causes 10.8 million deaths annually. However, in Kenya, like in other low-and middle-income countries, access to hypertension care remains limited and inequitable. Understanding patients’ journeys in accessing care along the care cascade is critical to inform patient-centred care and policy improvements. This study aimed to explore patient experiences in accessing primary care services for hypertension along the care cascad…
