The Homa Bay County Stakeholders Inception Workshop on Integration of Female Ge***al Schistosomiasis (FGS) and Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) Services culminated with visits to Homa Bay County Teaching and Referral Hospital and Miniambo Health Center both in Homa Bay Town Sub-County, where the demonstration study will be conducted.

The purpose of the visits was to assess the facilities’ capacity, in terms of infrastructure and knowledge of FGS among health care workers, so as to leverage on the existing health systems in the facilities to raise the index of suspicion of FGS among health care providers while conducting Sexual Reproductive screening at all service delivery points.

The team also visited Homa Bay Cancer Center as a possible integration point due to the biological similarities between FGS and Cervical Cancer.

LVCT Kenya in collaboration with Frontline AIDS, the Ministry of Health (MoH), and County Health Departments in Homa Bay, Kilifi, and Kwale counties, is implementing a demonstration study to integrate into services.

The study aims to integrate FGS prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment services with SRH services in Homa Bay County
