Data from the Ministry of Health’s department of Public Health and professional standards painted a grim picture of the status of Kenyans screened for diseases by CHPs.
The CHPs are doing really well in terms of registration to the Taifa Care, taking blood pressure, guiding expectant mothers and caregivers on when to go for clinics.
The Public Health CS Muthoni said on Tuesday.
This she said when she visited CHPs moving door-to-door accessing the health of residents.
I want to thank them for being the link between our referral system and especially to the Socia Health Authority. They are the first point of call at Level 1 before you go to level 2, and they treat you for free.
They added.
The CS urged Kenyans to prioritize their health and take advantage of CHPs especially now.
She further said that CHPs who work closely under the supervision of both the national and county governments will not go on holiday. Instead, they will take advantage of the period to screen more Kenyans for common ailments as well as register Kenyans for the Taifa care.
