Introduction

Homa Bay County's community health services are aligned with the Kenya Community Health Policy, 2020-2030, with a focus on enhancing access to healthcare and improving productivity through promotive, preventive, and rehabilitative services. In line with this policy, the county has taken significant strides in strengthening its community health workforce by training 261 Community Health Assistants/Officers (CHAs/CHOs) and 2,954 Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) on the eCHIS system to ensure that residents in even the most remote areas have access to essential healthcare services.

Economic Benefit

By investing in training community health services, Homa Bay County is promoting a healthier and more productive workforce. Improved access to preventive and rehabilitative healthcare services will reduce absenteeism and enhance productivity, thereby contributing to economic growth and development. Additionally, the electronic community health information system (eCHIS) will facilitate data-driven decision-making, enabling efficient resource allocation and targeted interventions.

Citizen Benefit

The training of 261 Community Health Assistants/Officers (CHAs/CHOs) and 2,954 Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) on the eCHIS system ensures that residents in even the most remote areas have access to essential healthcare services. The provision of phones to CHVs and the payment of stipends and insurance will not only enhance their motivation but also contribute to the overall well-being of communities by promoting preventive healthcare practices and early intervention.
