The Homabay County Health is charged with providing for its people and communities access to promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative health care services.  We are more so, mandated to provide these services to the preferences and needs of the community and ensure that they are sufficient, of quality and are effective.

Better health for everyone, everywhere

We focus on strengthening the leadership and governance of all health sectors in the region to gain the confidence of all our stakeholders. This is critical to raising revenues from domestic sources and ensuring that all of our populations have access to essential health services. We also strive to improve the quality of health services and the safety of patient and health workers, and build partnerships with civil society and other partners in order to expand access. A high percentage of investments are directed towards the district and community health systems to better access to universal health coverage and the achievement of the SDGs. Read here.

Our vision is to have a population that has access to quality and effective health services throughout their lifespan. For instance, we look forward towards having 90% of people living with HIV knowing their HIV status, 90% of people diagnosed with HIV receiving anti-retroviral therapy, and 90% of people who are on treatment achieving viral load suppression.

Mission ; To provide patient-centered healthcare with excellence in quality, service, and access.

Vision: Creating a community where all its people achieve their full potential for health and well-being across their lifespan.  We work to be a valued part of the community and a creator of positive change.
