Building A Healthy Productive CommunityGood health and growth and development go hand in hand. Healthy children make better Youth, and better Youth become healthy, successful adults who are productive members of our community. Quality Community health programs help members achieve their highest productivity potential. Health Programmes are a continuum of learning experiences that enables our Community as individuals and as members of society, to make informed decisions, modify behaviors, and change social conditions in ways that are health enhancing and increase health literacy. Comprehensive Community health Programmes that addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects of health teach members how to maintain and improve their health; prevent disease; reduce health-related risk behaviors; and develop health knowledge, attitudes, and skills that foster growth and development, increasing Economic growth. It is essential that Community members learn how to manage health problems they already face and to avoid additional health problems in the future. Recognizing the significant impact of health on Community development, we are doing everything possible to improve the quality of health programmes in Gatanga Constituency. Our objective as the Gatanga C.D.F team Championed by our Patron and MP, Hon. Peter Kenneth in regard to health has been to reach World Health Organization standards of having a health facility in every 6 kms . This will increase the access of community members specifically mothers and children to quality and affordable health care. Mapping our constituency and identifying strategic locations.
