Homa Bay Community Medical Centre is a well-establish clinic offering a wide range of services to the people of Saruyako, Homa Bay.
The main challenges faced by the centre are currently financial, as they often lack funds to be able to buy necessary drugs and equipment. Saruyako is a slum area within Homa Bay Town, and many of the patients who live in this area are unable to afford to pay for treatments. At times Homa Bay Community Medical Centre will endeavour to offer treatments free of charge to those who most need them. But this leaves their staff in a precarious situation, and cannot be sustained forever.
You can reach Homa Bay Community Medical Centre by call or text through their mobile number 0724132679.
Medical Context
Homa Bay County, located in western Kenya, faces several significant health challenges and issues. Malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and maternal and child health remain some of the primary health concerns in the region. Malaria is endemic in Homa Bay, with high transmission rates due to the county’s climate and environmental conditions. HIV/AIDS prevalence is also relatively high, leading to a significant burden on the healthcare system.
Tuberculosis (TB) is another major health issue in Homa Bay, with challenges related to diagnosis, treatment, and management. Maternal and child health indicators are concerning, with high rates of maternal mortality, neonatal deaths, and child malnutrition. Access to quality healthcare services, especially in rural areas, is limited, exacerbating these health challenges.
