Assessment Of The Health Situation In Nakuru County By Use Of The District Health Information System.
This dissertation examines the health conditions in Nakuru county over four years (2013-2017). By examining this
case we assess trends in disease prevalence, effectiveness and the effciency of health services and general healthcare.
Research strategies include observational data manually collected from ward-based sources i.e. nursing handover
records, paper-based inpatient medical records and District Health Information Systems. One major problem
encountered was missing data on some of the years. Due to the effectiveness and effciency of health services, the
health condition of the population has improved. With an adequate supply of medical services by the county government,
the health situation is expected to improve further over the years.
