Agency and interventions to healthcare; a case of Mali and Kenya.
Presentation 1, Negotiating Health: Youth agency or lack thereof in ARV adherence in Kenya.
Presentation 2, Validation of an SMS and voice call intervention to improve antenatal care attendance in Mali, by Mahamadou Kante, Centre for Health and Sustainability, UU
Jecinta Okumu will present how Agency in healthcare access builds ownership over health and counters resistance. Agency is often celebrated as a pathway to better health outcomes and yet it can also complicate adherence in unexpected ways; which is often the case with the young people in Kenya.
Mahamadou Kante will present about an SMS web based application prototype developed to address some of the challenges in achieving optimal maternal health outcomes in pre and post natal health in Mali.
