CHReaD advocates for increased investments in health R&D, evidence-based policy change and implementation; & efficient regulatory ecosystem for health products

[CHReaD @CHReaDKenya]

2026 is a stress test for global health
Funding is down while our needs are up

CHReaD's answer?

Build demand for science from the ground up.

Join the movement. #CultureOfScience

[CHReaD @CHReaDKenya]

Research drives better health, stronger economies, and smarter policy. Yet Kenya's FY 2026/27 budget leaves questions about sustainable research financing.

The question is: Who will fund the science shaping our future?

PCOS has been renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) to better reflect its hormonal, metabolic and ovarian complexity.

This is a major step for women’s health research, diagnosis, and patient centred care.

Africa cannot be left out of genomic data. Without it, populations stay underrepresented in research, diagnostics and precision medicine. Genomics strategies can help Africa generate, govern and benefit from its own health data.

Local manufacturing is also a trust conversation.
FBOs already serve millions across Africa through hospitals, clinics, schools, and community networks. Their role can strengthen trust in locally produced medicines and support health systems.

Through Culture of Science, CHReaD is advancing conversations on antimicrobial resistance, responsible medicine use, and safe disposal.

The dialogue brings together students and media to explore community-led action and science communication.

[CHReaD @CHReaDKenya]

At #WHS2026, CHReaD joined partners to discuss strengthening Africa’s local health manufacturing.
Now, ahead of the Culture of Science Conference, the focus is on policy, investment, and partnerships that build resilient African health systems.

[CHReaD @CHReaDKenya]

At #WHS2026, The session on genomics and precision medicine made one thing clear: the gap between what science can do and what reaches patients is not technical, it is political and financial. Health security demands that we invest in the science of our genetic biodiversity.

[Speak Up Africa @SpeakUpAfrica1]

Women deliver frontline care but remain underrepresented in R&D decision-making. This gap affects priorities, funding & impact.

Join our session at the #WorldHealthSummitNairobi on April 28,2026 - 09:30–11:00 (EAT)

We will present the Women’s Health R&D Scorecard
#HealthforAll

[Speak Up Africa @SpeakUpAfrica1]

Some sessions stay with you.
#DesigningPower made it clear: No health sovereignty without scientific sovereignty. No scientific sovereignty without #GenderEquality.
From barriers to solutions including the Women’s Health R&D Scorecard it’s time to move from dialogue to action.

#TodayAtAYARHEP

@AYARHEP_KENYA participated in an inception meeting convened by @NyanzaAds in partnership with @HomaBayCountyKE.

We were onboarded into the network to support coordinated, community-driven efforts towards EMTCT of HIV.

@AYARHEP_KENYA joined @nsdcc_kenya and @akilitv_kenya for the Family Treasure Hunt at the Nairobi Club.

Engaging families through play. Building knowledge for informed health decisions.

Self-care is about more than awareness; it’s about having clear, practical information & tools people can confidently use in their daily lives.

Communities and partners, powered by @NEPHAKKENYA, are co-creating self-care materials grounded in real experiences.

[AYARHEP-KENYA @AYARHEP_KENYA]

For PLHIVs, the shift from #GC7 to #GC8 is critical.

GC7 shows what worked & what didn’t.
GC8 will shape what changes next.
This is the moment to:
✔ Identify gaps
✔ Center lived experiences
✔ Influence priorities

Stronger community input means better outcomes. #GlobalFund

[AYARHEP-KENYA @AYARHEP_KENYA]

Family planning is still shaped by myths, silence, and missed responsibility.

@AYARHEP_KENYA joined CBOs under the #AccelerateProgramme by @PSKenya_ to promote informed choices, challenge myths, and engage men in FP advocacy.

Better conversations drive better outcomes.
#SRHR

[AYARHEP-KENYA @AYARHEP_KENYA]

Too many women are still diagnosed late, when options are limited.

@AYARHEP_KENYA contributed to a roundtable by @AfricaHealthBiz & @MSDInvents on advancing prevention, policy, and access to care for women’s cancers.

For AGYW, early information is not optional.
#WomensHeal

[AYARHEP-KENYA @AYARHEP_KENYA]

At @PSKenya_'s #AccelerateProgram, @AYARHEP_KENYA is engaging alongside CBOs and partners to strengthen community-led maternal & child health responses, leverage tech in #SRHR, and advance #GBV reporting, referral & SOPs.

Currently underway. The Transform Health Inception Meeting marks the launch of the 2026 My Data, Our Health campaign, where media and digital champions convene to discuss health data governance, digital engagement, and public awareness strategies. @HennetKenya

#MyDataOurHealth

[AYARHEP-KENYA @AYARHEP_KENYA]

Every time you visit a clinic, your details are recorded.

But do you know who can access that information, how it’s used, or how it’s protected?

Understanding this is key to protecting your privacy and building trust in healthcare.

#MyDataOurHealth #AYARHEPInAction

[AYARHEP-KENYA @AYARHEP_KENYA]

We’ve made progress against malaria. But it’s not gone.

It still shows up in the gaps, missed protection, delayed treatment and limited access.

What works is known. What matters now is consistency.

Ending malaria depends on what we do every day.

[AYARHEP-KENYA @AYARHEP_KENYA]

At the launch of the Parliamentary Immunization Caucus by @HennetKenya, @AYARHEP_KENYA emphasized the importance of integrating youth voices in immunization policy. Effective systems must reflect the realities of those they serve.
