The CQI program focuses on enhancing service delivery across key areas, including HIV care and treatment, testing, prevention, and TB services.

The County Coordinator for the HIV Program, Rachel Kiuna highlighted the importance of CQI in achieving better outcomes.
“We are proud of the healthcare workers and the leadership teams who have worked tirelessly to elevate the standards of care. These trophies reflect their dedication to improving health services for our clients,” she said.
The awards reflect improved service delivery and also contributes to enhanced quality of care for residents of Nakuru, the direct recipient of these health interventions.
It should be noted that the CQI process has led to improved care quality and enhanced health outcomes for vulnerable populations.
Nakuru County is setting the bar high in healthcare, ensuring that these improvements continue to positively impact the lives of residents for years to come.
