We held an engaging session with @MsenanguFM radio fan club members, who shared valuable feedback and experiences on our radio program, #JukwaaLaUtafiti.

Participants reflected on what they enjoyed most over the past year of airing and offered practical ideas to strengthen the next phase. We truly appreciate this input, as it helps us shape content that is more relevant, impactful, and responsive to our audience’s needs.

KEMRI wishes to clarify that claims circulating on social media alleging that the Institute is recruiting volunteers to be deliberately infected with malaria for payment are misleading and inaccurate.

🩸As we mark #WorldSickleCellDay2026, this year’s theme, “Closing the Survival Gap: Equity in Sickle Cell Disease,” is a call for equity in Sickle Cell Disease care. As Dr. @uyoga_sophie highlights, equity will be achieved when people living with SCD can access the services, treatment and support they need to live fulfilling lives.

[Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) @KEMRI_Kenya]

Every person living with sickle cell disease deserves access to timely diagnosis and quality care. This #WorldSickleCellDay, KEMRI remains committed to research that improves lives and strengthens health outcomes.
