The Alma Ata declaration of 1978 underscored the importance
of Primary Health Care (PHC) as a component of Universal Health Coverage. In
Kenya, a signatory to that declaration does value the role of PHC in healthcare
delivery. As such, our health care system is arranged in 6 levels of increasing
volume and complexity.
Level 1 is composed of the community health volunteers
incorporating the community members. The dispensary is at level II; Health
Centre is Level III, with the Subcounty Hospital being level IV. The County
Referral Hospitals are at level V while level VI is composed of national
referral hospitals.
