๐ŸŒ Different communities, different challenges, but shared learning can drive better maternal and newborn health outcomes.

Through -it DU-it , frontline health teams in Rangwe and Ndhiwa came together to share innovations, reflect on what is working, and learn from one another.

The learning forums focused on two key goals:
๐Ÿคฐ๐Ÿพ Increasing completion of all eight ANC contacts before delivery.
๐Ÿฉบ Promoting early ANC attendance within the first 12โ€“16 weeks of pregnancy.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ Congratulations to Randung Health Centre in Rangwe and Kiasa Health Centre in Ndhiwa for emerging as the top teams in their respective sub-counties!

These forums show what is possible when frontline health workers have the space to identify local challenges, test solutions and share what works. ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŒŸ A milestone moment for community health in !

The Homa Bay County Health Management Team and Lvcthealth recently sat down to plan the future of the C-it DU-it Community CQI program, the initiative that's been transforming maternal healthcare at the grassroots.

Speaking on behalf of CECM for Health Hon. Grace Mercy Osewe, Chief Officer Public Health Everlyne Ododa praised the program, saying, โ€œIt has proven that the best healthcare solutions are often found when we empower our frontline healthcare workers and community units to identify gaps and act immediately."

She added that โ€œThe approach is contributing to ZERO maternal and neonatal deaths through increased ANC visits and skilled deliveries."

The County pledged to sustain this momentum by fully integrating the "See it, Do it" approach into its upcoming Annual Work Plans and budget planning, embedding it as part of standard operating procedure.

We are grateful for a strong partnership focused on lasting, county-owned impact!

๐ŸŽ‰ Big things are happening in !

We've kicked off the Sub-County C-it DU-it Mini-Learning and Sharing Events, a two-week festival of learning bringing together Work Improvement Teams from 48 health facilities implementing the C-it DU-it project.

These teams are showcasing their work and learning from one another's best practices, all in the spirit of turning data into action (that's the "C-it, DU-it" in a nutshell - seeing the data, then doing something about it).

The best-performing teams from each sub-county will earn a spot at the County Learning Event this November, where County and Sub-County Health Management Teams, will come together alongside other stakeholders to celebrate progress and shared learning.

Cheers to every facility team putting in the work to strengthen health systems for their communities! ๐Ÿ‘

C-it DU-it (pronounced "see-it; do-it") is an innovative initiative dedicated to transforming community health systems in Kenya, focused on enhancing antenatal care (ANC) services by linking facility and community health data.

At LVCT Health, teen mothers are not an afterthought, they are at the very heart of everything we do. ๐Ÿ’œ

On 18th September 2026, our Executive Director, Dr. Lilian Otiso, visited the Teen Mums Thrive Project in Kilifi County to witness firsthand the incredible transformation taking place at the Bomani Dispensary in Kilifi South. She met with young mothers who have successfully completed their Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Groups (IPTG) sessions, alongside their supportive caregivers, dedicated facilitators, and key local health stakeholders.

The room was filled with powerful stories of hope, resilience, and renewed self-worth. It was inspiring to hear how these young women are reclaiming their futuresโ€”many have already returned to school, while others have launched small businesses to support their families. Caregivers also shared moving accounts of the positive shifts in the mental well-being, confidence, and social connections of these young mothers.

This visit reaffirmed our unwavering commitment to placing teen mothers at the center of our mission. Through integrated mental health care, sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR), nutrition, and ongoing mentorship, we will continue to walk alongside young mothers on their path toward holistic well-being and total empowerment.

Strengthening County Ownership & Digital Health Transition in Kilifi County

As part of Lvcthealth ongoing commitment to sustainable health systems, Executive Director Dr. Lilian Otiso and U.S. Department of State Stawisha Pwani Chief of Party Dr. Patrick Oyaro concluded a multi-county supervision tour of Kenya's coastal region with a high-impact visit to Kilifi County.

Building on prior engagements in Mombasa and Kwale, the Kilifi leg focused on strategic health system sustainability and digital health integration:

๐Ÿ“ High-Level County Leadership Engagement: Dr. Otiso and Dr. Oyaro met with Kilifi Department of Health and Sanitation Services executive management including the CECM for Health, the County Director of Health (CDH), and the County AIDS and STI Coordinator (CASCO). Discussions centered on:
โ€ข County transition readiness and sustainability frameworks.
โ€ข Seamless integration of HIV prevention and treatment services into routine care platforms.
โ€ข Strategic planning around programmatic funding shifts to ensure uninterrupted, long-term care delivery.

๐Ÿ“ Facility-Wide TaifaCare System Learning: To evaluate frontline digital transition, the team conducted site visits at both the Kilifi County Referral Hospital and Konjora Dispensary. The visits highlighted practical learnings on how healthcare workers are utilizing the TaifaCare digital system to enhance data accuracy, streamline workflows, and improve patient outcomes at both tertiary and primary care levels.

Partnering with county leadership remains central to our mission of delivering durable, community-centered, and county-led health solutions across the region.

Transforming healthcare through strong partnerships and county leadership! ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ช

To support Kwale Countyโ€™s transition toward fully county-led health services, Lvcthealth Executive Director Dr. Lilian Otiso handed over KES 25 Million worth of medical equipment, 20 laptops, and 2 motorbikes to H.E. Governor Fatuma Achani and the Kwale County Government.

Supported by PEPFAR and the U.S. Department of State through the Stawisha Pwani Project, this support brings vital health solutions directly to local communities:
๐Ÿ‘ถ Saving Newborn Lives: The specialized neonatal equipment will strengthen neonatal clinics across the county, helping reduce newborn deaths and promoting Every Woman Every Newborn Everywhere (EWENE).
๐Ÿ’ป Digital Health Systems: 20 laptops will drive health data digitization, enabling accurate, real-time records across county health centers.
๐Ÿ๏ธ Rapid Lab Diagnostics: 2 motorbikes will support health officers in transporting laboratory samples swiftly from remote areas.

During the handover, Dr. Lilian Otiso and Governor Fatuma Achani reflected on five years of impactful partnership while exploring new areas of collaboration, including emergency preparedness and El Niรฑo response.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Dr. Lilian Otiso, Executive Director, Lvcthealth:
"Equipping healthcare facilities with essential life-saving technology and reliable transport ensures that no one is left behind, even in the most remote corners of Kwale County as we build sustainable, county-led health systems."

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ H.E. Hon. Fatuma Achani, Governor, Kwale County:
"This targeted investment directly strengthens our health infrastructure, streamlines our digital health data operations, and brings critical maternal and neonatal care closer to our communities. We are deeply grateful for this support."

The meeting brought together key leadership, including the Kwale County CEC for Health and Director for Health, alongside Lvcthealthโ€™s Dr. Patrick Oyaro (Chief of Party, Stawisha Pwani) and Dr. Cleophas Ondieki (Director of Prisons Program, Lvcthealth).

The team was warmly received by the CECM for Health Services, Dr. Swabah Ahmed Omar, alongside senior county health directors.

โœ”๏ธ Integrating mental health support into primary care
โœ”๏ธ Strengthening emergency preparedness for El Niรฑo and emerging global health issues

Community is at the core of everything we do.

This past week, our C-it DU-it team spent a full week in Suba West Sub-County, working closely with integrated community/facility Work Improvement Teams to strengthen maternal health in their community and support them to build their own local solutions. This work is part of the preparation for an upcoming Learning and Sharing Event later this year.

None of this happens without our Community Health Promoters (CHPs), who are already out there finding pregnant mothers early, before 16 weeks, and linking them to the health facility for the care they need. We're here to support and strengthen the great work they're already doing.

Healthy mothers build healthy communities. Let's keep going.
