There is no information available on regional disparities in terms of residential homes. However, 31 out of 47 counties in Kenya have access to palliative care services (Hospice Care Kenya, 2018). Makueni County is the only county in Kenya that has integrated psychologists in the health system who are instrumental in providing palliative care and mental health services within hospitals.
