It aimed to assess how these interventions influenced MNCH service uptake, outcomes, and referral systems, using a mixed-methods approach with data from healthcare providers, community health promoters, and mothers. Findings showed that digital tools like the LUCY App improved coordination and maternal care but highlighted the need for better app features and wider access. Task sharing in areas like sonography enhanced service delivery but required stronger stakeholder engagement. Capacity-building through training was crucial for skill development, though additional training on emerging health issues was needed. Financial interventions, such as the Linda Mama program, boosted service uptake, but reimbursement processes needed improvement. Strengthening referral systems between lower- and higher-level facilities was identified as essential for timely access to care. The study concludes that integrating digital tools, expanding task sharing, enhancing training, and reinforcing health financing and referral systems are critical for strengthening MNCH services in rural Kenya, with broader implications for similar low-resource settings.展开更多

The result is that meaning, which makes architecture so central to our cultures, is being diminished. It is being replaced by a misplaced belief that "better" buildings and architecture result from increased use of digital tools. To recapture meaning will require a new design theory for architecture that builds on material engagement theory and the critical role of resistance and sensuous reasoning in the design process, which material has historically provided.展开更多
