Access to Healthcare

Treating NCDs in rural Kenya

In 2017, MSF started a program in Embu, to mentor, integrate and decentralize medical care for patients living with NCDs into primary health facilities, that is, the dispensaries and health centres, which are the lowest medical facilities in the cascade of health care accessibility. MSF working with MoH was able to decentralize the care to 11 health facilities and through a clinical mentorship programme equip over 60 mentees in the timely diagnosis and management of NCDs.
