Data from the Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS2022) have been a key resource for planning the rollout of universal health coverage through primary healthcare networks.
At the introduction of the Kenya Demographic Health Survey (KDHS) 2022 Main Report today, CS Nakhumicha S. Wafula emphasised the significance of the survey.
The 2022 KDHS Report is the seventh DHS Survey conducted in Kenya with the goal of providing demographic, health, and nutrition indicators to aid in planning, monitoring, and assessment of the nation’s health sector.
A variety of monitoring and effect evaluation indicators in the fields of population, health, and nutrition can be tracked using data from the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), which are nationally representative household surveys.
Through the use of evidence-based practise, DHIS is one of the components of a health system that aims to increase access and service quality. With the use of DHIS software, data is collected and summarised to deliver efficient, fact-based health services.
According to the data, there have been significant increases in competent deliveries compared to two decades earlier, as well as beneficial changes in child health and nutrition indices and antenatal care access.
In order to advance universal health coverage and enhance health outcomes for all residents, these findings will influence policy choices and measures.
