Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka has said private-public partnership will help decongest public hospitals and achieve universal health coverage.<\/p>\n

Speaking during a meeting with Amref Health Africa officials on Wednesday, Lusaka said such partnerships will boost primary healthcare starting from the grassroots.<\/p>\n

The governor assured Amref of his commitment towards engaging them in a partnership programme that will work as a model for emulation by other counties and countries in Africa.<\/p>\n

The partnership seeks to strengthen primary care through a holistic approach that will enhance the quality of healthcare services across all 45 wards in Bungoma county.<\/p>\n

The model was piloted in Makueni in 2018. Bungoma is the third county, after Makueni and Migori, that Amref is engaging with the goal of scaling up the initiative.<\/p>\n
