Passage: Kenya's private sector is relatively advanced as compared to other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Private healthcare professionals are the main health care providers in the country even for the nation's poorest people. The private health sector is larger and more easily accessible than both the public and the non-profit health sectors in terms of facilities and personnel. According to a World Bank report, nearly half of the poorest 20 percent of Kenyans use a private health facility when a child is sick.Licensed private healthcare professionals usually operate as small and medium-sized owner-managed institutions and clinics and are largely preferred for their accessibility, strong brands, value-addition and one-on-one patient-focused care in contrast to the highly bureaucratic and minimalist mass-oriented evidence-based care provided in the largely moribund public health facilities. Bogged down by inefficiency, the government and donor agencies have increasingly committed many public health services onto the more flexible and efficient private practitioners through various programmes covering medico-legal services, emergency medical care, immunization, cancer screening, HIV/AIDS and TB control and treatment, and safe motherhood among others under the Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) framework.
