The department successfully expanded access to life-saving antiretroviral treatment (ARVs) for people living with HIV, with 24,493 clients using ARVs compared to the target of 18,750. Additionally, they achieved a high rate of treatment for HIV-positive pregnant mothers, helping to prevent transmission to their babies. However, challenges in obtaining testing supplies resulted in missing the target for the number of pregnant women tested for HIV.
The department ensured malaria medication was readily available at more health facilities than initially planned, improving access to treatment and helping to combat the disease.
The department expanded the network of immunization facilities, making it easier for families to access essential childhood vaccinations. However, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted routine immunization services, leading to a lower than targeted rate of full child immunization coverage.
Overall, the county has made progress in some areas, while others are still below the set targets due to various challenges, including inadequate funding, Covid 19 effects, and delayed disbursement of funds.
