On the fake tests story, it is more of a misfit and failure in regulation of medical testing devices. The public needs to advocate more on proper regulations of test devices and kits in an effort of making testing a safe reality.

@HonAdenDuale In a similar voice of advancing Universal Health Coverage, the regulation of healthcare is equally important through the appointment of both the board members and chairpersons of the various boards; case and point the delayed appointment of a chairperson to KMLTTB by your office.

As the World Immunization week- 24th-30th Aprildraws to a close, it is important to reflect on the achievements immunization has delivered and renew commitments and investments in immunization programs.
Such investments include buiding and strengthening local vaccine production.

There has been significant increase in the total government budget in financing for healthcare. However, the government is yet to attain it's target of 15% of it's total budget in line with the Abuja declaration.

UPDATE ON NATIONAL ROTAVIRUS VACCINE SUPPLY

[Africa CDC @AfricaCDC]

Marburg virus disease is rare but highly deadly.

It causes severe haemorrhagic fever and can spread quickly without early detection.
🔹 Marburg does not spread through the air
🔹 It spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids or contaminated surfaces
🔹 Early symptoms include sudden fever, severe headache, vomiting, diarrhoea, and extreme weakness

If you experience symptoms or have been exposed, seek medical care immediately.

Early action saves lives. Prevention starts with awareness.

Every child deserves protection.
Vaccines protect against life-threatening diseases like typhoid and measles-rubella.

Give your child a healthy future — vaccinate today.
⏰ The campaign ends today. Visit your nearest public health facility now.

[National Vaccines & Immunization Program Kenya @VaccinesKenya]

Missing routine vaccines increases the risk of disease outbreaks like measles. The Immunisation Catch-Up is closing the immunity gap by reaching those who missed their vaccinations. Let us come together to end vaccine-preventable diseases.

As we continue with the public participation it is important that we don't lose sight or the healthcare vision that every Kenyan once had that is affordable, accessible and of high quality.

[_mecha @mecha71779488]

that we have made so far in the healthcare space. This can be made through focusing on continuous improvement of existing systems and not totally disregarding technical expertise and already functioning systems and bodies.

[_mecha @mecha71779488]

to ensure the Kenyan population obtains nothing but the best and quality healthcare at that. As the public participation continues, it is important that we should strive towards making a step in the right direction and avoid stagnating or even worse take a step back on the gains
