At the 25th annual scientific conference held in Kisumu county the primary healthcare act of the UHC dominated the discussions .
Health experts emphasised that proper implementation of this act will alleviate the issue of overcrowding facilities.
Kenya’s healthcare sector indeed has faced severe shortage of personnel with just over 30000 doctors of which only 8000 are employed by the government and 110000 nurses serving a whooping 50 million population.
While Kenya is hiring over 100,000 health promoters following the launch of UHC in the country the ministry of health still emphasizes on the need to recruit more doctors, nurses and clinicians for effective health delivery.
In this agendas Kenya Kwanza government promised to hire 20000 workers in its 100 days in office, but after over 300 days the is still remain unimplemented. Additionally the current healthcare challenges are shortage of healthcare personnel, inadequate health infrastructure, lack of adequate health financing, health inequity especially in rural areas and disease outbreaks that catches health experts unguarded.
