Falling numbers in malaria infections, improved mortality rate for children under five and improved decline in deaths of women giving birth have done Kenya good.
These factors have placed the country top on the list of 47 World Health Organisation member countries in Africa where a good range of available essential health services are offered.
A WHO State of Health in Africa report, which provides a comprehensive overview of the region, says Kenya is among countries in Africa where good practices can be explored across different areas of health.
Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and even South Sudan, which has faced protracted civil war, were mentioned as having improved on service delivery, putting the region on track towards attaining the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals on healthcare.
The report, launched last week by Dr Matshidiso Moeti, WHO’s regional director for Africa in Dakar at a side event of the 68th session of the WHO Regional Committee for Africa, Kenya’s overall utilisation of health and health-related services to reach the SDGs is at 64 per cent of what is feasible in the region, still much higher than the regional average of 48 per cent.
The report also checks on related services, the performance of health systems and what impacts these have on health in the region.
Interventions
There is, however, a need to accelerate ongoing interventions to address service availability, financial risk protection, health security and service responsiveness focusing on the hard to reach populations
Further, Kenya needs to improve access to services, quality of care, and specifically target hard-to-reach populations.
There is also a need to increase investment in the health workforce and medicines.
Rwanda was not badly off as it also surpassed the regional’s target to achieve 56 per cent of the SDGs.
The country has significantly advanced universal health coverage with its community-based health insurance programme.
Care for citizens is subsidised, allowing Rwandans to pay for services based on a tiered premium

Safi sana!. Juzi niliona jamaa akipiga hapa tarumbeta akidai vile wao ni wakali sana kwenye nyanja hii ukanda huu.
 
haha waswahili, warundi ,somalia na kadhalika kapu mojaaaa! la wasiojiweza!
 
Score!? Hivi kumbe kuna score!? Wakenya bana kwa kujichetua.
Tanzania tunafanya Cardiac operations, Tunafanya Brain operations, kidney transportation. Sasa hizo score ni za ugonjwa wa malaria!? Hata kwenye malaria TZ inakiwanda cha kutengeneza dawa ya kuua mazalia ya mbu.

Hizi score zenu za kuandika nyie na kufurahia nyie ni kujiteKENYA na kucheka mwenyewe.
 
Lol...Annael...Ni nini hapo Kenya haifanyi. Cardiac operation, brain surgery, kidney transplat(sio transportation) are all done in Kenya. Did you know we even separated Siamese twins at a public hospital ..lol

Kenyan pharmaceuticals export almost 70% of all medicine in East Africa. Hata kwenye hiyo LDC yenu. Dawa twawauzia, vyombo vya operation mwanunua kenya hata surgical knives...lol..

Ama ulikua unafikiri tunaongea kuhusu matibabu ya mitishamba...lol. Hiyo mmetushinda kabisa.
