Kiambu county community health volunteers have been given comprehensive health kits to enable them to respond to patients with non-communicable diseases. Nyoro said the county has 4,000 CHVs who support health initiatives at the grassroots. “The problem in Kiambu concerning health is lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. There is a lot of revenue lost and we need Kiambu residents to help us identify areas where our own-source revenue is being lost, to help pay the CHVs,” Nyoro said. She called for the recruitment of additional CHVs so they can reach many people in need of health services at the grassroots.
