Article Synopsis
- Preconception care (PCC) is essential for improving maternal and neonatal health in Kenya, but many challenges hinder its effective implementation, particularly due to a lack of skilled health workers and infrastructure.
- A study in Kisumu County found that only 39% of health providers reported offering PCC, and factors like the provider's role (nurse vs. non-nurse) and years of experience significantly affected this rate.
- Health workers recognize the importance of PCC but attribute its low provision to insufficient investment in training and resources.
