Today we hosted Dr. Sergio Carmona and Prof. Joseph Ndung’u of @FINDdx. The Kenya National Public Health Institute is keen on engaging strategies which will lead to effective elimination and control of diseases such as #Leishmaniasis, #HAT and #Tubercolusis among others
We are all set for our mid term review meeting of the Kenya Breaking Transmission Strategy (BTS) for NTDs on 26-27 July 2021. You can join via zoom/videolink and be part of the discussion. Contact Dickson Kioko on [email protected] to get the program and link. #beatNTDs
“It has become very clear that the goal for elimination of WASH-based NTDs is in stride, and is something we can achieve if we utilize the community of practice effectively.” @matendechero of the @MOH_Kenya highlights how an effective community of practice can help #BeatNTDs
“NTDs begin at the end of the road. In our programming, we must plan for how to reach those at the end of the road, who are the most disadvantaged and affected by NTDs.” @matendechero@MOH_Kenya#WASHforHealth#beatNTDs
Up to 70% of the #NTD burden can be lifted through effective collaboration towards providing safe water to communities living in endemic areas ~ Dr. Sultani @matendechero: Kenya National NTD Program Manager and Chair of the African Program Managers Community of Practice.
