DELIVERING HEALTH SOLUTIONS SINCE 2010
Our Approach
CHS aligns its work to national and international public health priorities to support the achievement of local and international goals and objectives through innovative health solutions that address existing and emerging public health needs.
Guided by our third strategic plan (2021-2025) and with a commitment to improve health outcomes, CHS works in partnership with government, donors, other stakeholders and local communities to complement and synergise the delivery of sustainable health services.
We are committed to consistently serve communities across Kenya through the implementation of HIV and TB services while strengthening all the core components of the health systems. These include supportive functions such as laboratory and pharmacy systems, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), human resources for health, health care financing and leadership and governance.
Vision
A world of healthy families through universal access to health interventions and services
Mission
To optimize delivery and use of health interventions to communities through evidence-informed solutions, innovations and research to address existing and emerging public health needs
Our Strategic Goals
The right to health is one of a set of internationally agreed human rights standards and is inseparable or ‘indivisible’ from all other rights.
