At the Hamisi PEN-Plus clinic in #Vihiga, most of the 800+ patients live with sickle cell disease, getting diagnosis, free medicines and follow-up that once meant travelling hundreds of kilometres.
"They take care of my son," says Christine, a community health promoter whose son lives with the condition.

Refugees, hosts, Govt. officials, & partners came together for a Solidarity Walk in Kakuma to mark #WorldRefugeeDay 💙.

The walk was both a call to uphold the right to seek safety and a moment to recognize the generosity of Kenya and the people of Turkana for welcoming refugees.

[UNHCR KENYA @UNHCR_Kenya]

The right to seek safety becomes meaningful when people are welcomed, included, and allowed to rebuild.

As we mark #WorldRefugeeDay, we thank the Government of Kenya, host communities, and partners for creating opportunities for refugees and keeping the promise of safety alive.

Ahead of #WorldRefugeeDay tomorrow, Arno’s story reminds us that safety also means opportunity.

As he prepares for the youth olympics in Dakar, his journey shows what becomes possible when young refugees are given the chance to train, grow and pursue their potential.

Mary's dream is simple: use her education to help others.

Having completed her studies with practical hands-on hospital placements, she hopes to return and support her community.

Safety includes access to education, skills, and opportunities to give back.

At the Infectious Diseases Unit, at @KNH_hospital, emergency medical teams ran a full #Ebola simulation in a real isolation setting, practising how to screen and detect suspected cases, isolate safely, and deliver quality care.

[WHO Kenya @WHOKenya]

More than 2,500 healthcare workers across Kenya have now been trained on #Ebola prevention and response. National trainers will cascade these skills to counties and sub-counties, while community health promoters are engaged to spot and report suspected cases early.

That readiness was put into practice in a simulation at the Infectious Diseases Unit, at @KNH_hospital.
