@jmbai@KBonimtetezi Self quarantine is very possible for the benefit of one self and close contacts.
It prevents spread of the disease to some extent. In this case, self quarantine of 14days, after travelling from affected regions is adequate. Taking into account incubation period is 2-5days.
Itโs pregnancy awareness week! What are some of the signs & symptoms of pregnancy?

@KBonimtetezi Doc, I am surprised that you have so far not realized the presidency is a boardroom affair. Prof. Manyora, rightly, put it so.
Wananchi will comfortably vote for MPs, MCAs, women reps, and their Governors but vote the presidency as COSMETIC.
Check the boardroom
Very true. Lack of political goodwill, poor implementation of Government policies, corruption and now the gag rule are now a stumbling block to achieving zero maternal mortality rate.
The most impactful interventions in maternal mortality are undeniably:
Contraception
Immunization
Nutrition
Progressive Leadership and accountability is what will get us there, so why not implement the present policies and strategies around these areas?

@kezysteve @MikeSonko The machines are not a problem, the buildings and drugs too, but the soft ware is the issue (workers knowledge, skills and their attitude)
Very true. For young people it is fun and adventure, experimenting on risky situations. However, armed with knowledge and having access to SRH services, many can be saved from destroying their bright future.
The future is in their hands.
A significant proportion of young people have incorrect perception and limited knowledge on risky sexual behaviour. This suggests a need to promote programs that will reverse this pattern over time.@rhnkorg has created a platform for such discussions
@WanjiruNjugi @GeraldNjau We have no option, when it comes to statutory payments like NHIF.
You get a deduction on your pay slip and failure to submit could land your employer to court of law.
Promises of services, not withstanding.
This is the way to go, taking hygiene, primary prevention and waste management seriously, enforcement of the environmental laws.
This will stop 80% of patients seeking medical care for infectious conditions.
Talk UHC!!!
One of the things the government of UAE have taken seriously is the environment, clean drinking water and world waste management, with penalty for littering
@HermanLibulele2 This is what we are discussing. Health workers at the primary provision of health services, dispensary and health centres should be capacity built to enable do this simple life saving screening to save women from cancer of the cervix, especially, via vili.
Cervical cancer screening can be done at the primary level of health care provision. At dispensary and health centres via vili can easily be carried out and save virtually all women, who would otherwise succumb to this preventable cancer.
WOMEN: Please ensure you go for the #cervicalcancerscreening without any delay as it will save you & your loved ones the pain and anguish associated with this lethal disease including huge costs of treatment, suffering & cancer death.

@MOH_Kenya@KNH_hospital It is imperative to make the finding from the pilot counties public.
Various stake holders need to discuss what worked and what didn't. How to improve on pit falls and manage any arising concerns before role out.
