The Challenges of Achieving Universal Health Coverage by 2030 in a Sub-Saharan African Country (Kenya)
Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery & Surgical Techniques - Year 2022, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a minimum of 2 Physicians per 10,000 population. Thirty of the 47 sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries are below this level, 7 just qualify and only 10 are above this figure. The physician population ratio for SSA countries is currently 13 per 100.000 compared to 164 per 100,000 for United Kingdom and 279 per 100,000 for United States of America (USA). SSA countries have 12% of the world’s population, 25% of the world’s burden of disease but only 1.7% of the world health physicians and 1% of the global economic resources
