I watched Doctor Gikonyo saying he saw only 3 heart attack cases at KNH between 1970–1980 a period of 10 yrs. Right now he sees around 3 PER DAY 😳

Guys, eat right, move your body, reduce stress & take your health seriously. Lifestyle diseases are no longer old people problems.

Today, the @MOH_Kenya unveiled three landmark reports that will shape the future of health service delivery and accelerate progress toward #UniversalHealthCoverage. 🌍💙

📘 The Quality of Care and Human Resources for Health Assessment Report
📗 The Service Availability and Readiness Assessment (SARA) Report
📙 The Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAH+N) Investment Case

Together, these reports provide critical evidence to guide policy reforms, strengthen workforce planning, and drive equitable access to quality care for every Kenyan.

“These documents are a culmination of collective efforts that provide critical insights to our health services and the needed investment,” — @HonAdenDuale, Cabinet Secretary for Health.

“WHO affirms its commitment to the Ministry of Health in building a resilient, inclusive, and people-centered health system, one that leaves no one behind. Let’s implement these findings,” — Dr. Adiele Onyenze, Officer-in-Charge, WHO Kenya.

👏 Appreciation of partners — @UNFPAKen , @UNICEFKenya , @GlobalFund , @gatesfoundation , and many others — for their continued support in advancing Kenya’s health agenda.

Typically, postpartum haemorrhage has been diagnosed when there is blood loss of 500 mL or more.
Now, clinicians are also advised to act when the blood loss reaches 300 mL, and any abnormal vital signs are observed.

Doctors and midwives are advised to monitor women closely after birth so they can act immediately when criteria are met https://t.co/KxEg3fXpW3
