     Implementation of community case Malaria Journal Open Access management of malaria in malaria endemic counties of western Kenya: are community health volunteers up to the task in diagnosing malaria?

     Early detection and prompt treatment of malaria are essential to reducing complications and saving lives. Adopting a combined strategy that delivers health services at both facility and community levels is crucial, especially since only about 70% of people in sub-Saharan Africa use public facilities as their first point of care for fever. Reaching people where they are ensures no one is left behind.
     Globally, limited human resources make the community-based approach a cost-effective and pro-poor solution for expanding healthcare access. Community health volunteers

     Precision mapping of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis among school-age children: Targeting interventions in western Kenya.

     A precision mapping study of schistosomiasis (SCH) and soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) was conducted in four counties in western Kenya—Kakamega, Bungoma, Trans Nzoia, and Vihiga—using World Health Organization guidelines at the Ward level to better target interventions. Cross-sectional surveys among school-age children revealed low overall prevalence of SCH (3.2%) and STH (7.6%), with S. mansoni and A. lumbricoides being the most common infections. Most infections were of light intensity, and prevalence varied significantly across counties. Mapping at the Ward level, compared to sub-C

     Bridging the policy-action gap: a scoping review of climate-resilient malaria control policies in Kenya and Zambia with recommendations for strengthening the WHO framework

     This study examined policy-action gaps in climate-resilient malaria control strategies in Kenya and Zambia, where climate change has intensified malaria risks through altered weather patterns and extended mosquito breeding seasons. Using a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA model, the study analyzed 19 peer-reviewed articles and policy documents published since 2010. It identified key challenges including weak health infrastructure, inadequate funding, poor integration of climate data, and fragmented stakeholder coordination. The lack of clear implementation metrics and cross-se

     This qualitative study explored the lived experiences of adolescents and young adults aged 15–35 across six counties in Kenya during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on social, economic, educational, and healthcare impacts. Through 11 focus group discussions and 5 key informant interviews, the study revealed widespread disruptions in relationships, increased gender-based violence, teenage pregnancies, and economic hardships that led to child labor and crime. Educational inequalities worsened due to limited access to virtual learning, while healthcare service disruptions hindered youth-friendl

     Last mile delivery of COVID-19 vaccination to populations aged 15 years and above in Nyeri County, Kenya, March 2021-June 2022

     This paper highlights the strategies and interventions that facilitated the successful rollout of COVID-19 vaccination in Nyeri County, Kenya, following the arrival of the AstraZeneca vaccine in March 2021. The county formed a COVID-19 Vaccine Deployment Committee to lead planning and implementation, including capacity building for healthcare workers and expanding vaccination sites from 5 to 17. Despite initial system challenges, outreach efforts and supplemental immunisation activities significantly boosted vaccine uptake. By June 2022, 67.7% of the targeted adult population had received at l

     Sociodemographic determinants of fathers´ acceptance of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine of adolescent girls in Kesses (rural) and Kapseret (urban), Uasin Gishu County, Kenya

     This study explored the socio-demographic factors influencing fathers' acceptance of HPV vaccination for their daughters in Kenya, where paternal consent is key due to their role as household decision-makers. Conducted between January and February 2024, it involved 375 fathers of adolescent girls and included both quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. Findings revealed low vaccine acceptance, with only 36.8% of daughters vaccinated. Most fathers were married and had at least secondary education. Employment status and geographical location significantly influenced vaccine acceptance.

      Forecasting acute childhood malnutrition in Kenya using machine learning and diverse sets of indicators

      Malnutrition is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for children under-5 globally. Low- and middle-income countries, such as Kenya, bear the greatest burden of malnutrition. The Kenyan government has been collecting clinical indicators, including on malnutrition, using District Health Information Software-2 (DHIS2) for over a decade. We aim to address the existing gap in decision-makers’ ability to develop and utilize malnutrition forecasting capabilities for timely interventions. Read More >>
