Planning for the national youth devolution festival

This important event brings together water and sanitation professionals, policymakers, innovators, and stakeholders to share solutions and shape the future of sustainable water and sanitation in Kenya and beyond. Let’s champion access to clean water and safe sanitation for all.

Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and predictive analytics are becoming essential components of global health systems. In Kenya, their effectiveness will depend on how well they are tailored to local conditions. "Tools that cannot function offline, do not support regional/local languages, or depend on foreign data will fail to adequately serve underserved communities." True success will require not just adoption but also a transformation grounded in context, equity, and inclusion. - @NdiranguWanjuki, remarks at the 8th @Kmtc_official Scientific Conference. #AmrefHealthInnovation #AI4Health @MOH_Kenya

In @NakuruCountyGov, over 3,300 TB patients received timely, person-centred care through Tibu Lite, a simplified digital platform that redefined how tuberculosis (TB) data is captured, shared, and acted upon. With real-time case reporting, SMS follow-up reminders, and integrated community-level data, the platform has enhanced treatment adherence, streamlined workflows, and enabled faster, evidence-based decision-making across 20 health facilities. Within just one year, TB screening rates increased by 36%, while uptake of TB Preventive Therapy (TPT) rose by 40%. Health workers—previously overwhelmed by manual processes—now focus more on clinical care, while TB coordinators have shifted from routine data entry to targeted mentorship and supportive supervision. Over 40 healthcare workers were retrained, digital literacy gaps bridged, and Community Health Promoters actively engaged—establishing a scalable, data-driven model for patient-centred TB care. This success demonstrates how digital innovation can strengthen health systems, accelerate service delivery, and uphold the dignity of every patient. As this successful digital transition—delivered through the project “Promoting Patient-Centred Care for Tuberculosis Patients through Digitisation of Facility and Community Data”—is officially handed over to county leadership, it becomes part of #Amref’s broader commitment to strengthening primary health care (PHC) systems. #Amref4PHC @unito @amrefit @AICS_Nairobi @NTLDKenya @MOH_Kenya
