Nationwide Capacity Building for Community Health Promoters

Tuesday June4,2024 In a bid to accelerate attainment of Universal Health Coverage, the government has deployed 107,831 Community Health Promoters (CHPs) across 47 counties to provide preventive and promotive healthcare at the household level.

Recognizing the importance of continuous training, the State Department for Public Health and Professional Standards, in partnership with the Global Fund and  Amref Health Africa in Kenya, has launched a nationwide training program for CHPs. 

This program has been thoroughly reviewed and redesigned to address emerging health issues and specific county challenges. 

The training will equip CHPs with essential knowledge and skills, ensuring they meet occupational standards and receive accreditation to effectively deliver basic healthcare services.
