Abstract

The Births and Deaths Act of Kenya (Cap 149) mandates mandatory registrations of births and deaths. Registration of death events is crucial for setting and achieving the county’s health goals. However, Kenya faces challenges of low death events registration, primarily home death events in rural areas which hinders seamless functioning of government agencies. Low registration of death events has been occasioned by difficult, manual and centralised processes in death events notification. This study addresses the challenges of low home death events registration by designing and developing a prototype that simplifies notification in rural areas and additionally simulates how this data can be shared. This research employed the Service-Oriented Design and Development Methodology to design and develop a real-time, user-friendly prototype that incorporates the USSD, mobile and web applications in notification, and REST API for integration. The key contribution of this study is enhancement of the present-day home death events notification process in rural areas by ensuring that notification service points are real-time and close to the registration agents. Additionally, the study shares death event reports with the relevant stakeholders.
