Center For Public Health and Development

Reflecting on the 10th Association of Kenya (MAK) Conference, we at the Center for Public Health and Development are proud to have hosted a panel on the national integration of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS).

Key takeaway: POCUS is a crucial tool for transforming maternal health in Kenya.

With midwives and nurses comprising the majority of frontline healthcare workers at Level 2–4 facilities, sensitizing them to POCUS ensures early detection, timely referrals, and improved outcomes for mothers and babies.

At CPHD, we remain committed to advancing policies and practices that make POCUS a standard part of antenatal care, because collaboration and innovation are key to strengthening our health system.
