Quality Healthcare

The private health sector is a major source of healthcare in many countries. In Kenya, the sector is fragmented and quality is inconsistent particularly in small and medium-sized healthcare facilities (Health SMEs) where I is difficult to attract investment capital, despite the substantial demand in providing more than half (>50%) of health services. The Health SMEs are often not able to meet banks’ requirements for annual statements, collateral and business plans. KMET in collaboration with Medical Credit Fund, Pharm Access foundation both from Netherlands supports a quality financing project to bridge between demand for and supply of capital in order to advance quality of healthcare services through provision of affordable loans. The loans are anticipated to stimulate efficiency and quality in the healthcare system. Healthcare facilities benefit from technical assistance on quality improvement

Through Safe Care standards and financial management. Within the strategic period (2016-2020), quality healthcare department anticipates to disburse Kshs.1 Billion in form of loans.
