Overview

Systematic review shows task-shifting enhances healthcare access in rural Kenya, suggesting policy support is essential.

Key Points

  • Task-shifting significantly improves healthcare access in rural settings, supported by adequate training and infrastructure.
  • Adequate training, clinical experience, and positive attitudes among non-specialists enhance task-shifting effectiveness.
  • Health system readiness, including infrastructure and supply availability, critically enables successful task-shifting.
  • Weak policy frameworks and ambiguous roles hinder scaling task-shifting efforts, calling for better governance.
