The study developed and tested the Kenya Hospital Assessment Tool (K-HAT) to assess surgical capacity in Kenyan hospitals. The K-HAT collected comprehensive and detailed information, presenting a significant improvement over the World Health Organization’s tools. The pilot test team found the K-HAT easy to administer and understand, taking approximately 1 hour to collect data from each facility. The collected data will support the development of Kenya’s national surgical, obstetric, and anesthesia plan (NSOAP).
