What: |
“Supporting the Kwale County Government through the provision of Integrated Medicine” is a 5-year project to improve the health of people in Kwale County through the provision of policy analysis and advice in the field of Integrated Medicine. Through this action, the applicants are advocating for a more holistic and integrated approach to health, combining conventional medicine and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) together as Integrated Medicine. The applicants want to influence policy by initiating a dialogue with health authorities and policy-makers, based on the outcomes of operational research for Integrated Medicine. Research will include studies of the most prevalent diseases (e.g. malaria, respiratory infections, diarrhoeal disease and HIV), and will look at the cost-effectiveness of the integrated approach. To realise this, both the documentation of individual cases and the county's existing health information system shall be improved. |
