Background The rising number of older people, including those living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) highlights the need for an improved clinical diagnosis and management of the diseases. Objective To understand and describe healthcare providers’ perceptions and practices regarding AD/ADRD diagnosis and care in Kenya, not previously reported. Methods This was an ethnographic study involving observations and semi-structured interviews with healthcare providers working at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi (AKUHN) Kenya. Twenty-one healthcare providers were purposively recruited and interviewed in English, with the data transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed using Nvivo version 14. Results Our findings reveal that AKUHN's dementia diagnostic pathway aligns with universal best practice models and involves multidisciplinary care. Yet, healthcare providers noted that this level of care is not representative of most public hospitals in Kenya, where a lack of diagnostic equipment and trained staff severely limits patient access to timely dementia care. In addition, new medications that can slow AD/ADRD progression, are not readily available in Africa, including Kenya. We also identified barriers to timely diagnosis and care such as: lack of dementia policy and guidelines, limited expertise of healthcare providers, high cost of care, and sociocultural factors, including stigma. Conclusions We emphasize the need for the Kenyan government and relevant stakeholders to develop social and healthcare policies and allocate resources to raise awareness about dementia and combat stigma; train healthcare providers; improve early detection and service delivery through access to diagnostic tools, and establish clear guidelines/protocols for AD/ADRD care.
