Community participation in the health system: analyzing the implementation of community health committee policies in Kenya

CONCLUSION: Kenya's community health policy inadvertently created role conflict and competition for resources and recognition between community health workers involved in service delivery and those involved in overseeing community health services. Community health policies and related bills need to clearly define the roles of CHCs. County governments can promote the implementation of CHC policies by including CHCs in the agenda during the annual review of performance in the health sector.PMID:37114463 | DOI:10.1017/S1463423623000208
