Prof. Grace Irimu

We discussed three pillars: community action, integrated care, and better data—made possible through committed leadership and accountability. I’m sincerely grateful to KDF for this opportunity and for the KDF Momento presented by Maj Gen Frederick Leuria(2/2)#NCDs #PHC

On 18 Feb, I had the privilege of speaking, as a Guest Speaker, with the Kenya Defence Forces Senior Commanders on strengthening PHC to prevent & control hypertension & diabetes. Small, consistent lifestyle changes can greatly reduce these lifestyle diseases & their complications

Sunday was special—I had the joy of hosting my PhD student from the University of Western Ontario, Canada, here in Kenya. I’m grateful to Western University for giving me position of adjunct professor in this great university & delighted she could experience our national parks

Over next 4 months, we’re running a diabetes prevention campaign in Nyeri County— where prevalence is 2–4× higher than Kenya’s average. Diabetes is largely preventable. In spirit of giving back, I’m inviting collaborators to join us in promoting healthy lifestyles. Let’s act now!

Kenya: A new directive bans patients from sharing hospital beds —finally! It’s unethical&unsafe to make strangers, possibly unclean, share a bed. Instead of investing in more beds, let’s invest in primary healthcare —prevent illness, reduce admissions &ease pressure on hospitals.
