We're thrilled to celebrate this as part of our August wins! On 29th and 30th, 2024, USAID AMPATH Uzima alongside key development partners, hosted the inaugural West Pokot Primary Health Care (PHC) Exhibition. The event highlighted the county’s impressive strides in PHC and reaffirming the program's commitment to enhancing health services. West Pokot County's 264 Community Health Units and 2,423 Community Health Promoters (CHPs) are driving significant progress at the grassroots level. A key moment was the signing of a PHC communiqué, pledging to upgrade six PCN hubs to Level 4 facilities, in line with the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2023-2027. This initiative will strengthen both the community health platform and health financing in the county. Special thanks to the Principal Secretary, State Department for Public Health and Professional Standards, Hon. Mary Muthoni (who joined virtually), Deputy Governor H.E. Robert Komolle, and the County Executive Committee Member for Health, Hon. Paul Woyakapel, for their leadership and support. Let's continue to work together to improve health for all! #PHC #AMPATHUzima #WestPokot #Leadership #HealthForAll #Bestpractices
