This has called for the need for Kenya’s national healthcare system to embrace and champion for the mental and psychosocial support for medical workers in both public and private healthcare institutions. Increasingly, frontline medical workers are facing a tough time, with many experiencing emotional and physical strain with the daily escalating numbers of positive cases. Physical and mental wellness forms the basis for social and economic wellness and thus prosperity. The help by such partners was significant but other corporates can also follow suit and invest in supporting the country’s mental health system. Your minimal contribution will go a long way in reducing the mental health burden in the country.
