The influence of climate change on children attending primary care in Isiolo County, Northern Kenya
Climate change has had a substantial impact on children's health and social circumstances. Families that are dependent on public sector health services are vulnerable and lack the resilience needed to cope with climate stressors. The health facilities also lack the resilience needed to respond adequately to the challenges of climate change.Contribution: This study will strengthen climate and health data and improve policies to address regional community needs. It also demonstrates that improving healthcare financing will impact healthcare system resilience.
