"Kenya has made some strides in reducing teenage pregnancies in the country,
the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) report has shown.
According to the latest survey, data on teenage pregnancies for adolescents
between 10 to 19 years has decreased drastically since 2018.
In the report released last month, teenagers presenting with pregnancy at first
Antenatal Care (ANC) has reduced by double in the last five years.
In 2018, healthcare facilities in the country recorded a total of 427,297
pregnant teenagers.
In 2021, the number decreased to 317,583 and further decreased to 260,442
teenagers in 2022.
Adolescents between the ages of 10 to 14 years that presented with pregnancy at
first ANC visits reduced from 23,290 in 2021 to 15,043 in 2022.
Moreover, the numbers for those between 15 to 19 years presenting with
pregnancy at first ANC reduced by 16.6 percent to 245,399 in 2022."
