This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the findings of the Health Financing Progress Matrix assessment, WHO’s standardized assessment of a country’s health financing policies, for Kenya. The report highlights both strengths and weaknesses in Kenya current health financing arrangements, assessed against the desirable attributes of a health financing system, based on global evidence. Based on the findings, the report suggests a number of policy adjustments to drive accelerated progress towards universal health coverage (UHC) in the country. Priorities for attention include addressing or mitigating the consequences of fragmentation, for example across the numerous health coverage schemes, making more effective use of data and information systems, and improving public financial management within the health sector. Given the context of devolved decision-making for a substantial part of overall government health spending, a realistic health reform implementation roadmap should suggest mechanisms to bring about greater overall coherence in the system, identifying those features which can be established nationally while recognizing the limits of what can be imposed centrally. The Health Financing Progress Matrix assessment provides guidance to policy-makers, building on international experience and evidence, whilst at the same time reflecting the unique features and context of the Kenyan health system.

Download or read book Making Devolution Work for Service Delivery in Kenya written by Abdu Muwonge and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2022-02-23 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenya adopted a new Constitution and began the process of devolution in 2010. The new Constitution was the institutional response to longstanding grievances over the centralization of state powers and public sector resources, and regional disparities in service delivery and development outcomes. This radical restructuring of the Kenyan state has three main objectives: decentralizing political power, public sector functions, and public finances; ensuring a more equitable spatial distribution of resources between regions; and promoting more accountable, participatory, and responsive government at all levels. The first elections under the new Constitution were held in 2013. Alongside the national government, 47 new county governments were established. Each county government is made up of a County Executive, headed by an elected Governor and works under the oversight of an elected County Assembly. Seven years after the "devolution train" left the station, this report takes stock of how devolution has affected the delivery of devolved basic services to Kenyan citizens. Whereas devolution was driven by political reform, the ensuing institutions and systems were expected to deliver greater socioeconomic equity through devolved service delivery. The Making Devolution Work for Service Delivery (MDWSD) study is the first major assessment of Kenya’s devolution reform. The study was a jointly coordinated effort by the Government of Kenya and the World Bank. The study provides key messages with respect to what is working, what is not working, and what could work better to enhance service delivery based on the currently available data. It provides an independent assessment of service delivery performance in five sectors, namely health, education, agriculture, urban, and water services and includes an in-depth review of the main pillars of devolved service delivery, namely public financial management, intergovernmental finance, human resource management, politics and accountability.

This book was released on with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COVID-19 led to an economic downturn not only in Kenya but also in the rest of the world. It put these countries into a recession as a result of the measures taken by trading partners to prevent the spread of the virus. This meant that the Kenyan needed to come up with monetary and fiscal policies and strategies to maintain macroeconomic and fiscal stability, as well as accelerate the pace of economic growth by achieving resilience and sustainability of economic growth and development. This book uses both descriptive and econometric methodologies that can easily be understood by scholars, using quality data from credible sources such as the Kenyan National Bureau of Statistics, the Ministry of Health, World Bank, World Trade Organization and the International Monetary Fund. The book can be used as reference material for both post and undergraduate students interested in international trade. The policies and strategies proposed can be used by scholars in researching ways to deal with not only the current pandemic but also future pandemics.

Integrated health services analysis written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2023-06-16 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document provides guidance on the integrated analysis and use, at national level, of data collected from health facilities though routine health information systems (RHIS). The integrated approach provides general health service planners and managers with an overarching or “cross-cutting” view of health services, based on a limited set of tracer indicators that represent multiple health programmes and service components. Objectives: The guidance will promote an understanding of: the concept of integrated analysis of health services, using RHIS data; the advantages of using a limited set of standardized indicators and visualizations; analysis and presentation of the data in ways that are easily understood and useful to health service planners and managers; the importance of and approaches to assessing data quality; some considerations for interpretation of RHIS data. Target audience: This guidance targets workers in ministries of health as well as other organizations, including: decision-makers using RHIS data for general planning, management and review of health services; programme staff wanting to share key programme findings with a general audience; staff responsible for the analysis and presentation of health data, including analysts and monitoring and evaluation officers; health information systems staff involved in data management and data quality improvement staff of national health observatories; research institutes and academic institutions involved in RHIS data.

Download or read book Laboratory Quality Management System written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achieving, maintaining and improving accuracy, timeliness and reliability are major challenges for health laboratories. Countries worldwide committed themselves to build national capacities for the detection of, and response to, public health events of international concern when they decided to engage in the International Health Regulations implementation process. Only sound management of quality in health laboratories will enable countries to produce test results that the international community will trust in cases of international emergency. This handbook was developed through collaboration between the WHO Lyon Office for National Epidemic Preparedness and Response, the United States of America Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of Laboratory Systems, and the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). It is based on training sessions and modules provided by the CDC and WHO in more than 25 countries, and on guidelines for implementation of ISO 15189 in diagnostic laboratories, developed by CLSI. This handbook is intended to provide a comprehensive reference on Laboratory Quality Management System for all stakeholders in health laboratory processes, from management, to administration, to bench-work laboratorians. This handbook covers topics that are essential for quality management of a public health or clinical laboratory. They are based on both ISO 15189 and CLSI GP26-A3 documents. Each topic is discussed in a separate chapter. The chapters follow the framework developed by CLSI and are organized as the "12 Quality System Essentials".

This book was released on 2019-01-27 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, building on the advances of the Millennium Development Goals, the United Nations adopted Sustainable Development Goals that include an explicit commitment to achieve universal health coverage by 2030. However, enormous gaps remain between what is achievable in human health and where global health stands today, and progress has been both incomplete and unevenly distributed. In order to meet this goal, a deliberate and comprehensive effort is needed to improve the quality of health care services globally. Crossing the Global Quality Chasm: Improving Health Care Worldwide focuses on one particular shortfall in health care affecting global populations: defects in the quality of care. This study reviews the available evidence on the quality of care worldwide and makes recommendations to improve health care quality globally while expanding access to preventive and therapeutic services, with a focus in low-resource areas. Crossing the Global Quality Chasm emphasizes the organization and delivery of safe and effective care at the patient/provider interface. This study explores issues of access to services and commodities, effectiveness, safety, efficiency, and equity. Focusing on front line service delivery that can directly impact health outcomes for individuals and populations, this book will be an essential guide for key stakeholders, governments, donors, health systems, and others involved in health care.

This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication summarizes the approach proposed by WHO to collect, analyse, report, disseminate and use strategic information on viral hepatitis at the subnational, national and global levels. These guidelines strengthen person-centred monitoring – with a priority for indicators that support person-centred health services, the core prevention, diagnosis and treatment interventions. The guidelines describe the use of strategic information at various stages of the response in the context of strengthening broader health information systems. Strategic information can be defined as data collected at all service delivery and administrative levels to inform policy and programme decisions. The guidelines recommends the stepwise guidance to build country health information systems so countries use data to strengthen the scaling up of viral hepatitis programmes. The key new additions to the guidelines are: - an updated strategic information framework for chronic viral hepatitis B & C; - a new section on person-centred data monitoring for chronic viral hepatitis B & C; - a stepwise recommendation for strengthening country surveillance for viral hepatitis; and - consolidated metadata tables for viral hepatitis indicators.

Download or read book Improving the Delivery of Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) to Eliminate Vertical HIV Transmission written by Dvora Joseph Davey and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-10-30 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over half of HIV infections globally occur among cisgender women. High HIV incidence among young (ie, 15–30 years old) African cisgender women persists during pregnancy and postpartum, and there is evidence that HIV acquisition risk more than doubles during this period. A new HIV infection has important short- and long-term consequences for the mother’s health. Acute maternal HIV infection is also associated with increased vertical transmission risk, making prevention of HIV among pregnant and breastfeeding populations a global health priority. As access to antiretroviral therapy continues to expand, new—and often undiagnosed—maternal HIV infections during pregnancy and breastfeeding contribute to a growing proportion of new pediatric HIV cases, and urgent focus of interventions to eliminate vertical HIV transmission. To address this important gap, The World Health Organization (WHO) and several national HIV programs recommend offering pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to pregnant and breastfeeding populations at substantial risk for HIV. To fully realize the promise of PrEP in antenatal and postnatal settings, however, “real world” clinical and implementation data are urgently needed. Further, there is a need for research on novel, long-acting tools that prevent HIV acquisition in all populations, including pregnant and breastfeeding populations.

This book was released on 2024-05-15 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Primer is about the 'how' of primary health care (PHC) and brings together best practices and knowledge that countries have generated through 'natural experiments' in strengthening PHC with the best available research evidence. Despite the progress made towards PHC globally, the concept is still often misunderstood, even within the public health community. The Primer offers a contemporary understanding of PHC and more conceptual clarity for strengthening PHC-oriented health systems. It does so by consolidating both scientific evidence and an extensive sample of practical experiences across countries for the needed evidence to address practical implementation issues. The Primer is organized in three parts. Part I explains the PHC approach, its history, core concepts and rationale, and draws out lessons for transformation. Part II addresses operational and strategic levers that make PHC work. It covers governance, financing and human resources for health, medicines, health technology, infrastructure and digital health, and their role in implementing change. Part III concludes with a cross-cutting view of the impacts of PHC on the health system, efficiency, quality of care, equity, access, financial protection and health systems resilience, including in the face of climate change.
