Community health volunteers’ experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kiambu county, Kenya: A qualitative study

Despite facing stigma, misinformation, limited resources, and economic hardships, CHVs demonstrated commitment to their roles. Their efforts not only underscored their resilience but also revealed critical gaps in preparedness and resource allocation within the healthcare system. However, the small number of FGDs and insufficent data saturation should be considered when interpreting the findings. Nonetheless, our study provides a starting point for further research and comparative analysis across other counties in Kenya.
