‌                                          Status Of Key Health Indicators in The County 
 ‌                          i. Diseases Prevalence and Morbidity 
‌The most common diseases in the county include malaria, respiratory tract infections, diarrhoea and stomach ache. Malaria prevalence remains high at 42 percent. The use of treated nets has helped to significantly reduce infection and transmission of Malaria and more effort is needed to ensure its continued use. There is also need for closer monitoring of HIV/AIDS infection due to its socioeconomic impact on households and communities. Females are more vulnerable to sickness than males in the county.

‌CURRENT FULLY IMMUNIZED = 58.1% 
‌CURRENT SKILLED DELIVERY= 60.1% 
‌CURRENT CPR= 23%
‌                            ii. Health Service Access 
‌The county has health facilities managed by the County Government of West Pokot ranging from Level 2 to 5. The county has numerous gaps in most of the health system blocks. Most notably in Human Resources for Health in terms of levels of care under Level One (community health services) there are 252 community units spread across the sub counties. 
‌Under Level Two (dispensaries and health centres) there are 105 health facilities, 10 being Health Centres. The county also has five county hospitals under Level Four. Currently there are no tier five facilities but plans are underway to upgrade the county referral hospital to Level five. Furthermore, the County has 1 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) health centre facility and 12 Private facilities of which, one is a nursing home. 
‌The ideal situation would be for each sub-County to have a level 4 facility and several level 3 and 2 facilities. West Pokot County is served by 4 hospitals, 8 health centres and 142 dispensaries. Kapenguria County hospital and Ortum Mission Hospital are the two major health facilities in the County.
‌                              iii. Nutritional Status 
‌The percentage of children at risk of malnutrition stands at 6.6 percent. Chronic malnutrition rate stands at 35% at the county. Currently, there are efforts by development partners to improve on child nutrition. Development partners work with the department of health, sanitation and emergencies to address nutrition. 
‌                              iv. Immunization 
‌Immunization coverage is still low in the county. With other parts of the country gearing to the achievement of 100 percent immunization coverage, the immunization coverage (fully immunized child) in the county stands at 58.1 percent. This is attributed to low staffing of health facilities, few and inaccessible health facilities and nomadic life style. Most affected areas are: Kasei, Konyao, Sook, Seker and Chepkokogh. 
‌                              v.Family Planning Services 
‌The contraceptive acceptance in the county is low, modern contraceptive prevalence rate currently stands at 23%. This is attributed to the culture of valuing many children as source of wealth and protection in the community, ignorance and high illiteracy. Due to awareness creation and family planning campaign, this acceptance is expected to rise. In order to increase the contraceptive acceptance levels, there is need for awareness creation and family planning campaign and reduction in the cost of family planning commodities.
