The lack of primary healthcare available to rural communities in many parts of Kenya is in general due to the poor infrastructure of these places. It makes it impossible to retain doctors in villages, who feel that they will become professionally isolated and outdated if stationed in remote areas. In addition to this issue, the common challenges in these regions include geographical isolation of some rural communities, lack of enough health centers (local clinics and regional hospitals), and other related resources. This is compounded by the low income or no income at all for the patients who have poor access to relevant health information and limited medical supplies and services.
