Operationalisation of Primary Health Care Networks (PCN) approach in Nakuru County have enhanced healthcare quality, accessibility and service delivery within the region.
County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Health Services Ms Roselyn Mungai said the Primary Health Care networks are aimed at bolstering the country's healthcare infrastructure and were critical in achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and ensuring comprehensive health services to all residents.
The CECM explained that PCNs are local organisations set up to improve patient care in their regions and make primary healthcare more efficient and effective, adding that it was a strategic approach developed by the national government to establish connections between health facilities and the community.
The initiative is said to be driven by the national government in collaboration with counties and development partners and aims at revolutionizing healthcare delivery by establishing PCN in all 47 devolved units.
