Health facilities in Homa Bay County have faced a significant setback following the withdrawal of support from USAID-funded projects that provided essential services in the health sector.
The county relied heavily on USAID, particularly through Liverpool Health (LVCT), which assisted health facilities in terms of HIV prevention, care, and treatment.
The County Chief Officer for Medical Services Dr.
Kevin Osuri reiterated that Homa Bay was one of the counties with the highest HIV burden, and partners such as LVCT have been instrumental in providing care and treatment for clients with HIV and associated diseases like tuberculosis.
