Identified Best Practices in Health Service Management in Kenya as Presented at the 11th KEMRI Annual Scientific Conference (KASH)

Best practices in public health are interventions that have shown to produce desirable outcomes in improving health in real life settings and are suitable for adaptation by other communities. Best practices should meet most if not all of the following attributes: Relevance, community participation, stakeholder collaboration, ethical soundness, replicability, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability. This evidence brief compiles best practices identified from the abstracts presented in the recently held 11th KEMRI Annual Scientific Conference (KASH). The best practices are presented as case studies that illustrate the problem that was being solved and the innovative way the health facility solved the issue as part of quality improvement in patient care.
