@NMS_Kenya@SakajaJohnson Great team. Investing in community health while implementing NCCG CHS ACT ;2019 will lead us in attaining UHC through PHC. The ROI in CHS is high. The 7640 CHWs are key in access to Quality health Care. We welcome the team.
1/3 It is notified for general information of the public that The Governor of
Nairobi, H.E. @SakajaJohnson CBS, has appointed a taskforce chaired by Prof. Olive Mugenda to review and propose reforms in the Nairobi City County Health Sector.
Here are some suggested actions to address this 👇
✅Build community awareness on #AirQuality
✅Foster community participation in planning air quality interventions
✅Empower citizens to hold those in power accountable
✅Make data open and accessible to the public
Day 3⃣ @CleanAirCAC stakeholder forum. Studies indicate that child mortality is higher in children who live in slums in Nairobi due to poor #AirQuality. The disease burden is generally higher in informal settlements & environmental policies are not strongly enforced.
"We are committed to creating opportunities for the global south, particularly women youth to have a voice to shape and influence the policies that affect them." - Dr. @AngelaGichaga, CEO @FinancingAllian, 2022 @SkollFoundation Awardee

2/2: …community health services program gaps & propose strategic solutions to build on the NMS Costed Implementation Plan (2022-2026) as well as #communityhealth priorities with regards to the
@NMS_Kenya's #UHC & PHC agenda.
We thank all the participants for the fruitful event!
Universal Health Coverage:
Health care is not free; it’s either tax or patient-funded. The UHC program is trying to lessen the burden of families that go bankrupt trying to pay for health care - Oluga Ouma- Director, Health Services, NMS
#DayBreak@TrevorOmbija
2/2: As data is critical to the success of any program esp. #communityhealth, the sub-County Community Strategy Coordinators were also trained on using the AWP data collection tool & on how to leverage the #DHIS2 for planning and decision making.
Onwards to achieving #UHC!
@MOH_Kenya commends County governments for making great strides in increasing coverage of community health services. We are happy to report that 91% of the country has community health units. We are now aiming for 100% coverage. ~ CS Health @mutahikagwe_cs
The community health units are operationalized by over 95,000 community health volunteers in all 47 counties. Here in Nairobi alone, @NMS_Kenya has established 732 Community health units with a total 7,320 Community Health Workers, 10 per unit.
@fnoluga NMS community Health Services team appreciates your leadership, guidance and support for making this a reality. We promise to do our best as we serve the community.
