Health Rights Advocacy Forum (HERAF) is a non-governmental organization that brings together health professionals, NGOs, FBOs and PLWHA organizations to advocate for health as a fundamental human right in Kenya.
HERAF with support from UK Department for International Development, through International HIV&AIDS Alliance and Kenya AIDS NGOS Consortium (KANCO) has developed an advocacy plan of action with the aim of influencing policy makers and stakeholders to improve Maternal, New Born and Child Health (MNCH) Policies and Programmes in Kenya. To achieve this, HERAF has organized a breakfast meeting targeting health sector policy makers, health care providers, media and stakeholders to advocate for improved MNCH policies and programmes implementation.
The meeting will discuss gaps in MNCH policies and programmes including the role of policy makers and stakeholders in addressing the identified gaps and challenges. Among the MNCH issues identified for discussion include the inter-face between the community level and health facilities for improved demand and supply of MNCH services, training, recruitment and retention of health care providers for quality MNCH service provision at health facilities and the 2011/2012 budget estimates earmarked for MNCH programmes.
The meeting will be held on Thursday, June 23rd, 2011 at Silver Springs Hotel, Nairobi starting from 7:00 am. Attached, kindly find the background information and the program to guide you further. For more information kindly contact Josephine on email: info@heraf.or.ke; Josephine@heraf.or.ke or on Tel No. 020 3861482/3 or 0724825663.
