What are the positive improvements?

Access to service Overall greater availability of cardiac services Wider distribution in country More personnel available Skills transfer

infrastructure

Training Training programme for surgeons ongoing Return of surgeons from outside the country Nursing staff

Challenges/obstacles

Decision to start a programme

Training challenges Nursing and other support staff for programme Support units must keep pace training opportunities Accreditation

Training Challenges (cont) Cross institution/border corporation (low)  Training programmes  Skills mix Public private collaborations Government prioritisation of training needs

Equipment challenges Lack of front line equipment. Maintenance of equipment Replacement of equipment (Inappropriate) Equipment donations

Financing challenges More private institutions Public institution more into cost sharing Down sizing of cardiac allocation in public institution Donor inclusion into programme Agenda maybe different

Treatment options outside Kenya Challenge as patients go out (e.g. India and South Africa)
