Legislator roots for public-private partnerships in the health sector


Jomvu MP Badi Twalib has called for collaboration between Private and Public Health Practitioners to enhance access to Primary Health Care Services.

Speaking today during a meeting of the Private Sector Primary Care Network meeting in Mikindani Ward, the legislator lauded the invaluable contribution of the private medical practitioners in the sub-county.

The USAID-supported programme aims to support the private sector so that it can align with government policies and complement what the government does.

He said dedication and professionalism play a crucial role in ensuring the health and well-being of the community is taken care of.

‘In Jomvu, Private Health Care Facilities stand out in their commitment to providing quality healthcare services to my constituents. They are essential in bridging the gap between Public Healthcare Services and the needs of our growing population,’ he said.

He underscored the importance of collaborations between the Public and Private Sectors as vital to improving access to h
ealthcare services.

‘By leveraging the strengths of both sectors, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) aim to address systematic challenges, enhance infrastructure, and ultimately improve health outcomes for all Kenyans,’ he explained.

Twalib further stated that it is essential to recognise the important role of primary healthcare networks in the healthcare system.

‘This network serves as the backbone of accessible and comprehensive healthcare for our communities. By fostering PPPs, we can enhance these networks, utilising resources and expertise from both sectors to improve service delivery, thus creating a more resilient health system that meets the needs of all residents.’

He lauded the Private Medical Practitioners for their contribution to society, especially during industrial actions by medics in public hospitals.

‘Instead of competing,’ he said, ‘let’s complement each other in giving out those services.’

On her part, Phyllis Kemunto Jomvu Sub-County Medical Health Officer noted that there has been
a myth of disconnect between the public and private sector, and regarding the national policy, they are trying to embrace PPPs.

Kemunto said they have a forum that brings all private practitioners together to collaborate to improve service delivery that will improve health outcomes in the community.

‘Through this, we will be able to have a well-coordinated primary health care network, which will assist us in referral systems and other infrastructural support,’ she stated.
