Following the successful execution of the BREHS Inter-governmental Participating Agreements (IPAs) by County Governments, the Council of Governors, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, has rolled out technical assistance to all counties to strengthen Preparedness for project implementation, including supporting prioritization of high-impact Primary Health Care Interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative is aimed at building the capacity of County leadership, CHMT Members and Health Care workers to implement the BREHS Project effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The County Government of Uasin Gishu undertook a two-day training targeting the County Health Leadership: The County Health Management Team (CHMT), County Implementation Team (CIT), with a focus on improving the utilization and quality of Primary Health Care (PHC) services while strengthening institutional capacity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme is part of a broader national effort to enhance service delivery at the grassroots level, ensuring health facilities are better equipped to respond to the needs of communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Health Services County Executive Janet Kurgat, the training is aimed at increasing the capacity of the participants to strengthen PHC in the County and improve uptake of Primary Health Care services, improving the standard of care in health facilities, and equipping health workers with skills to build stronger and more resilient institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe objective is to ensure our health systems are not only responsive to current needs but also resilient enough to withstand future challenges,\u201d Kurgat said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The two-day training is expected to foster knowledge sharing, enhance coordination among health teams, and align county strategies with national health priorities under the BREHS Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On her part, Jemima Kuta from the Council of Governors (COG) Health Directorate articulated full support by COG and urged that the existing gaps in PHC needed to be closed so as to improve patient outcomes. The PHC level being where most residents first seek medical attention, she added that the BREHS Project was a major opportunity to improve Quality of Care in our PHC facilities and therefore, there was a need to equip all stakeholders with knowledge on the project design and expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move underscores the county\u2019s continued commitment to strengthening healthcare systems and delivering quality, accessible services to its population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
