Speaking at the first National Public Health Leadership Summit in Naivasha, Brown Ashira, the union Secretary-General, blamed the Ministry of Health for the crisis, noting that no recruitment of public health officers had been carried out in over 15 years. Ashira warned that the Ministry has also failed to replace ageing and retiring public health officers, a situation he said risked paralysing disease surveillance at the community level. ow.ly/iQmV50YVBw9

The Principal Secretary for Public Health and Professional Standards, Mary Muthoni, today held a consultative meeting with the top leadership of the Kenya Environmental and Public Health Practitioners Union (KEHPHPU), led by Secretary General Mr Brown Ashira. Discussions centred on the review of the public health legislative framework, including the formal gazettement of regulated functions. This process is expected to strengthen the legal mandate of public health practitioners and enhance the enforcement of sanitation and hygiene standards nationwide. The meeting also addressed workforce challenges within the sector, with emphasis on existing staffing gaps, the need for improved financing, and enhanced budgetary allocations to support public health technicians and specialists. On the policy front, the engagement explored the harmonisation of Community Health Associations, alongside the formal registration and licensing of practitioners, as key measures to strengthen professionalism, accountability, and service delivery in public health practice. The Ministry of Health reaffirmed its commitment to building a resilient health system by ensuring that public health practitioners are adequately supported and equipped to protect and promote the health of all Kenyans.

@koske_felix @psmuthoni kindly remove the Ag CEO PHOTC. What happened in the hiring of unqualified invigilators shows deeper non compliance with PHOTC own guidelines. Councils should follow the guidelines they set. The absent one shouldn't be allowed to kill this profession. - STOP IT
