Kenya joins the growing rank of countries freeing their populations of sleeping sickness, and bringing Africa one step closer to being free from neglected tropical diseases!

@inSupplyHealth joined The @MOH_Kenya, Division of Vector-Borne Diseases and NTDs in Kitui County to mark #WorldNTDDay2025 under the theme "Unite. Act. Eliminate." In collaboration with the County Government of Kitui, the event aimed to raise awareness, call for action, and unity toward eliminating Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs).

The day began with a courtesy call to County Executive Committee Member for Health & Sanitation, Ruth Koki, and Chief Officer for Public Health and Sanitation, Lynn Kitwan. This was followed by a procession through Kitui Town, leading to the main event at the stadium.

In his keynote address, Governor Dr. Julius Malombe highlighted the ongoing issue of snake bites in Kitui, emphasizing the need for more interventions, with 1,939 reported cases between 2022 and 2024. He reaffirmed the county government’s commitment to eliminating NTDs by ensuring that every resident of Kitui County has access to quality health services.

The Ministry of Health’s Preventive Chemotherapy Program Manager, Mr. Titus Watitu, called on counties to invest in NTD elimination and control. He also highlighted that Kenya is on track to eliminate five NTDs by 2030 (Trachoma, River Blindness, Lymphatic Filariasis, Rabies, and Leprosy) and has developed policies to guide this process in collaboration with counties.

Other partners present included @DNDi, @MOH_Kenya, @DNDi, Kenya Institute of Primate Research, @TheENDFund, African Institute for Health and Development, @WASHallianceKe, @Amref_Kenya, @EvidenceAction, @K_SRIC, @AIHDKENYA and @CHAI_health.
