This case scenario from Homa Bay County, Kenya, illustrates efforts by a local government to provide equitable healthcare to its citizens during limited resources being scrambled for by all government sectors.
These challenges, combined with a high disease burden, contributes to a low quality of life in the County.
The purpose of this scenario is to show how local governments in resource-constrained settings can start working to provide more equitable healthcare through innovative approaches, with the creation of partnerships at the core of success. Despite its limitations, the case offers lessons for healthcare stakeholders on the importance of working collaboratively to achieve equity in resource-limited contexts.
