Article Synopsis
- - The study explores men's unique barriers to accessing healthcare services under Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in Kenya, highlighting socio-cultural and economic factors that influence their healthcare-seeking behaviors.
- - Through 30 focus group discussions with 296 men across 12 counties, three main themes emerged regarding men's perspectives: experiences with healthcare access, the impact of socio-cultural beliefs, and their desires for healthcare systems.
- - Findings indicate that issues such as masculinity norms, financial constraints, lack of male-friendly services, and limited health literacy create a disconnect between men's needs and the current healthcare system, complicating their ability to receive necessary care.
