The Chebaiywa clinic case

For any organization to prosper staffing is a very important aspect and in this case how they relate with the people. This assignment is aimed at reading a case of Chebaiywa Clinic and responding to questions within the same case. Analysis strengths Weaknesses Drugs are always available compared to government health centers Inadequate funds to sustain the clinic Service charges are slightly cheaper compared to neighboring private hospitals Services are not fully standardized compared to private clinics Adequate staff to attend the patients Greatly relies on external funding,75% and cannot sustain itself once donations are withdrawn Provides community outreach programs that are health related Partially implemented prevention health services Available electrical power and solar back up Offers limited number of services hence get specified patients Has set up mobile clinics in the neighboring communities The community makes very low income with a meager Gross Domestic Product hence cannot pay for the clinical services.

The management under Tarus is aimed at ensuring the clinic is financially stable, as well as improving the well-being of the community The community depends on maize production only hence low income. Opportunities Threats As a public benefit organization there are possibilities of getting more external funding High quality services are offered in private clinics within the community Services offered in the neighboring government dispensaries are not satisfying Government dispensaries are easily accessible because of short distance hence some people prefer them Improve staff patient relations since staff in government dispensaries are demeaning and insensitive The people have assumed that services in Chebaiywa should be free hence pay very low medical fees Diversify medical services offered to get more patients People have seasonal income and may not afford to pay the required services fees Introduce preventive healthcare to reduces disease infections such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and typhoid Most families spend more of their income on school fees Located near Eldoret town, a fast developing commercial center with a high population Political instability especially during and after elections,inter-tribal clashes within the Kalenjin community The land is very fertile and can be used to produce other income generating crops.

The community still believe in traditional child delivery hence utilize traditional birth attendants. Technological factors Some population of Kenyan citizens are well off with technological advancements. However, due to low income electricity installations are just in a few households since people are not in a position to purchase electrical appliances. Chebaiywa dispensary has installed electricity and at the same time has a solar power backup. Environmental factors The country has most of the occupants carrying out farming due to the fertility of the land. The Clinic has adequate drugs, adequate staff and electricity supply. This means that it can easily achieve the many objectives it has by clearing the financial crisis. Therefore, Don Tarus has to settle on empowering the community economically.

The organization provides community outreach programs, bearing in mind that the community has fertile land an outreach program on diversified crop production could be rolled out to the community. The community has a good population of 12,000 people, once they start producing a variety of crops then they will get reliable annual income which will enable them pay for health services. In this case, we may review the three most important and analyze them against the PESTEL analysis model Political, Economical, Social, Technological, Environmental and Legal factors. These options include the options of pricing, quality improvement and the approach of new payment modes. Concerning the issue of pricing, it has advantages of bringing more to the clinic, thus sustaining its operations. In any case the approach proves compatible with the villagers, they may agree to pay more than the usual price, which may enable the management to cover for its deficits.

It also has the advantages that, even in the face of withdrawal from the outside donors, the clinic may be able to sustain its operations. One of the advantages of using this method to counter the situation is that, it is easier to apply. All the clinic needs are the power of mouth to convince the village. Since Tarus is a respected village leader that may be quite easier for him to do. It also has the advantage of success in case they operationalize it. If the people agree to the advance payment system, the clinic will achieve its target within no time and improve. A good recommendation for this case is the use of the external funding. Since the owner of the clinic already have prospering profit generating businesses, he can use them to collect more for the maintenance of the clinic.

That approach features the least disadvantages and has the greatest possibility of being operational because the methods of raising money are already in place (Bryce 2017). It may also be useful to employ cost improvements. Through good management of the daily funds and how they spend in purchases, the management may cut the cost that the clinic uses in purchasing, thus save the funds for use in other areas like purchasing the supplies and paying the non-voluntary employees. Chibwaiya dispensary is one among these many community clinics, making it worth to save at whatever cost. The founder of Chibwaiya was also more than willing to sacrifice their wealth to save the Kenyans from the face of sickness, poverty and illiteracy. 4 Conclusively, it is factual that the political situation of Kenya has greatly affected the outcome of her economy.
