The Ministry of Health, in partnership with Amref Health Africa, World Bicycle Relief, and Buffalo Bicycles Kenya, has today flagged off 500 bicycles for Community Health Promoters (CHPs) in Kwale County to enhance their mobility and efficiency in delivering essential healthcare services at the community level.
Speaking during the event, Principal Secretary for Public Health and Professional Standards, Mary Muthoni, underscored that improved mobility is vital in strengthening Primary Health Care (PHC) a key pillar of Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
She noted that with the new bicycles, CHPs will be able to reach more households, conduct timely follow-ups, support disease prevention initiatives, and respond swiftly during health campaigns and outbreaks.
The initiative reinforces the government’s commitment to empower CHPs with the tools, skills, and logistical support they need to ensure that every Kenyan regardless of location can access quality healthcare without financial hardship.
