870 Followers 2K Following An expert in the field of Monitoring and Evaluation, Programme Reporting and Public Health.On #WorldMalariaDay, Kenya stands at a crossroad in the fight against malaria. With 3.2 million cases & 11,000 deaths recorded, WHO has made an urgent call for equitable access to malaria services & ensure barriers faced by marginalized groups are removed.
"Over two decades, Kenya has reduced mortality by 32% and mobilized funds for vital interventions. Initiatives like mass Net (LLIN) distribution, RTS,S/AS01 vaccine rollout, technology, show promise in our quest for malaria-free future," - Dr J Otieno-WHO- said. #HealthForAll
#WorldMalariaDay was celebrated in Kisumu County led by CS Nakhumicha & with an emphasis on equitable access to life-saving interventions for all & collective action towards a malaria-free Kenya. Kenya is among 20 most affected countries in Africa. #EndMalaria #HealthForAll"
Risk Communication and Community Engagement, (RCCE) in emergency response has been named as the core strategic area which if prioritized could save lives & response time because it cuts across all emergency pillars and addresses affected communities & general public directly
No child should have to suffer from a vaccine-preventable disease. To protect your child, make sure their vaccines are up to date. #VaccinesWork
Receiving the tablets, Health CS Nakhumicha thanked WHO adding that accurate data on immunization is essential & the tablets will enhance data quality for decision-making at the Vaccines Programme. PS Muthoni said the tablets will boost MOH digital agenda. PS H Kimtai attended.
He noted Kenya had achieved over 80% of target populations for immunization but called on MOH to aim for the unreached & improve on vaccines like HPV for adolescent girls & measles rubella whose reach is below 80%. The unreached include urban poor, displaced & migrant persons.
Dr A Diallo, while handing over 940 tablets to MOH said: "Data is the cornerstone for informing decision- making & hence the need for quality data." The tablets have features that IT admins can remotely track, manage & send messages to.
DG Dr Tedros who spoke at UNEA-6 meeting in Nairobi, today met & had discussions with WHO staff in Kenya, Somalia & the Emergency Hub. Discussions revolved around WHO policy direction & change, planning, priorities & finding sustainable solutions for work operations & health
@WHO team- Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative workshop on a courtesy call on WHO-K Rep @dourahsante - discussed issues & actions. Key areas of strengthening – integrated approach, sustainability within health system, capacity building of health workers & specific country contexts
WHO Rep Dr A Diallo today hosted Acting WHO Rep Sudan, Dr Peter Graaf who is on a scoping mission for opportunity to run some WHO Sudan operations from Kenya. Sudan has faced conflict in recent years leading to disruption of office operations & that of the country at large
This strategic partnership underlines shared commitment to common goals for enhanced healthcare outcomes in Kenya with specific areas - UHC delivery, medicines supply chain, Pharmaceutical & regulatory areas - plus manufacturing. Staff Dr J Onsongo & Dr E Omesa also attended
WHO Rep Dr. A Diallo, today hosted MSH Vice President Dr Aday Adetosoye, MTaPS Country Project Director, Dr Kusu Ndinda & Dr Joseph Mkoko in a courtesy call for collaboration & synergy on discussions around healthcare gaps & aligning efforts for more impactful interventions
MOH PS Mary Muriuki said the TB plan was a tool & testament of MOH commitment to ending TB. TB detection of TB through proactive household screening at the grassroots level would be effected by Community Health Promoters, CHPs, she added
The health of livestock, wildlife, and people is interlinked. Time for deworming!
#Polio teams also used unique tactics in high rise & populated buildings by working in teams, with mobilisers alerting the residents on each floor & vaccinators knocking at doors. Other mobilisers then waited at the ground floor to reassign & ensure no child was missed
On Day 2 of #Polio campaign, vaccination teams made every effort to reach out to children below 5yrs for a drop of polio vaccine which builds their immunity against the disease. They walked long distances, visited homes, estates & churches where many family’s worship on Sunday

46% of countries in the African Region reported #polio cases in the past year. This #WorldPolioDay, let´s remember that for as long as there is ongoing transmission, all countries in Africa and globally shall remain vulnerable.
This #WorldPolioDay, @WHOAFRO congratulates countries in Africa for striving to reach high-quality surveillance for early #polio alerts. The region achieved 90% stool adequacy rate in 2022 & over 241k surveillance visits were documented w. @WHOAFRO technologies
