ABSTRACT:
Initial emphasis on “flattening the curve” of COVID-19 cases by policy makers has reduced the demand for health care and created new costs for the private sector. This has led to a cash crunch, forcing some providers to scale back their businesses and lay off health workers. This has major implications for health systems especially in low- and middle-income countries, where private providers play a major role in delivering health services. The study analyzes the impact of E-Procurement strategies narrowing on Private Healthcare facilities in Samburu and Isiolo counties.
