Availability of Malaria diagnostics between 2010-2014
Performance of health workers form the quality of Care Survey 2010-2014
Achievements
• • • • • Distribution of 3.3 m LLINS in Migori, Kisumu, Siaya, Vihiga, Homa Bay and West Pokot Counties Training of lake endemic CHMT’s on Malaria SBCC Planning of mass net distribution with county teams in Western, Rift Valley, Coast and Parts of Nyanza region Training of County TOTs on malaria surveillance Training of health workers on malaria surveillance
Key malaria control ongoing activities • • • • • Finalization of Kenya Malaria strategy (2014-2018) Capacity-building for surveillance and Integrated vector management Strengthening Case management through scaling up of diagnostics- microscopy and RDTs in counties Training of County Malaria coordinators on malaria programming Quality of care 8 survey to measure success of malaria care services delivery
Key malaria control planned activities
• • • Distribution of 10.6 m LLINs across Rift valley, Coast, Western and parts of Nyanza National level Malaria indicator survey (MIS) in 2015 to further assess progress towards targets Training of public and private sector workers on malaria case management
Challenges
• • • • • Overreliance on external support for the implementation of the strategic plan Low uptake and utilization of Interventions and tools Insecticides resistance Continued high prevalence in Lake region Capacity of the counties and sub-counties in effective program management
Challenges
• • • Exploiting the opportunity to the use of community health structures for increasing access to care Sub-optimal routine data from HIS and IDSR coupled with paucity of inpatient and laboratory data Gaps in funding for procurement of 2nd line Dihydroartemesininpiperaquin (DHAP)
Way forward
• • • • • • Consolidating the gains and expanding access to priority interventions Strengthening access to quality case management at all levels Strengthening acquisition and use of quality surveillance and routine data Intensifying advocacy for mobilization and equitable allocation of local resources (National and County kitty) Strengthening management and leadership for malaria programming and implementation at County and sub county level Strengthening programing advocacy , and behavour change communication
