Strengthening self-care for better health outcomes in Kenya.
@rhnkorg joined partners including @MOH_Kenya, @PSKenya_ , @PSofKenya, @inSupplyHealth, @KenyaSRHR, @Kmet_Kenya, @NASCOP, @Jhpiego, @fhi360, @LwalaCommunity, @AYARHEP_KENYA, @icrhk_official, @HennetKenya, and the Kenya Progressive Nurses Association at the @SelfCare4UHC (SCCG) quarterly meeting. The convening marked an important step as the group transitions into a Community of Practice (CoP), strengthening coordination around self-care in Kenya.
Discussions focused on scaling key self-care interventions such as self-injection for family planning, HPV self-sampling, and HIV self-testing, while emphasizing that access alone is not enough—people need the right information, confidence, and support to use these services effectively.
Key outcomes included a shared commitment to prioritize demand creation, improve coordination among partners, and align health messaging to ensure communities receive clear, consistent information. Partners also agreed to strengthen linkages to care and use upcoming opportunities like Self-Care Month (June–July) to increase awareness through campaigns and community engagement.
Ultimately, advancing self-care will depend on making it accessible, understandable, and trusted so individuals can take charge of their health with confidence.
