Kenya

IntraHealth leads Capacity Kenya, a project designed to strengthen the country’s health workforce across the public, private, and faith-based sectors. The project builds on the work of the global Capacity Project, also led by IntraHealth, which assisted the Ministry of Health to develop and implement an emergency hiring plan to address Kenya’s shortage of health workers. The plan introduced rapid and transparent recruitment processes, trained 873 health workers in HIV/AIDS clinical skills, and deployed them to 219 facilities in rural and underserved areas across the country. Capacity Kenya continues to focus on strengthening human resources for health to improve the quality and accessibility of HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, family planning and reproductive health, maternal and child health, and malaria services.

In Kenya’s North Eastern province, home to nomadic pastoralists, IntraHealth is helping to make health care more accessible to the hard-to-reach population by assisting to train and improve the performance of health workers for integrated delivery of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and family planning and reproductive health services.
