CHPs are doing tremendous work to create demand for ANC service delivery in the community. WITs ensure data-driven interventions for ANC. To achieve quality respectful MCH health, the missing piece is strengthening the health systems infrastructure

We're delighted to have our #CommunityHealth & #PublicHealth leads from Kenya 🇰🇪 alongside their Liverpool counterparts take part in an innovative mutual exchange programme to learn and be inspired by each other's work #ChangeMakers
@LSTMnews @DPH_MAshton @lilianotiso
ALT The exchange programme aims to inspire change-maker pairs through developing a deeper understanding of each other’s contexts; build teams’ capacity to develop monitor, cost and support innovative local community health interventions; and inform respective health workforce strategies in primary care and community health. The change-maker pairs will also lay the foundations for a longer-term relationship between local governments in Kenya and England, triggering innovative ways of working and role-modelling equitable health partnerships

Kenya is accelerating its universal health coverage (UHC) agenda through collaborative efforts with counties and development partners. Significant milestones include training 100,000 Community Health Promoters (CHPs) and implementing the Electronic Community Health Information System (E-CHIS).
Stakeholders from national government, counties, and development partners are actively shaping the next phase of this initiative, focusing on enhancing the capacity, sustainability, and impact of Primary Health Care (PHC) initiatives under the banner of #AfyaNyumbani.
Great learnings from our CHPs on eCHIS utilization in HH visits.
"Exciting morning as @CHU4UHC partners engage with @CMigori CHMT for a productive discussion on the status of community health in the county ahead of the CHU4UHC co-creation workshop that will shape the project's next phase.
