Brief for the Public Forum on the Leasing of Medical Equipment Project in Kenya

Kenya has been experiencing a rise in cases of non-communicable and traffic accident injuries. This has been compounded by inadequate medical personnel and low specialized health infrastructure owing to the reality of fiscal constraints. Collectively, this has in part been the Achilles’ heel in Kenya’s health sector.

In response to this challenge, the government through the Ministry of Health (MoH) launched the Managed Equipment Services (MES) project on behalf of the 47 devolved units.

This brief presents some insights as a follow-up[1] on the implementation of the MES project as part of IEA Kenya’s governance for health work.
