Abstract
A human resources mapping study in 2011 highlighted that Kenya had attained the WHO target of 4 ophthalmologists per million population. However, 49% of the ophthalmologists were based in the capital city and served only 8% of the overall population. The cataract surgical rate was 553 operations per million population per year, which is significantly below the required rate of 2,000 per million population per year
