Chikungunya as a neuroinfectious arbovirus: The burden of CHIKV-associated neurological illness in Kenyan children is high. The disease incidence is much higher than recent estimates for bacterial meningitis and cerebral malaria. eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

Amazing work Rose Ombati it speaks to the urgent call to innovate and consider local contexts in medical manufacturing in Africa. We need to be at the driver's seat of shaping the health architecture for Africa. #CPHIA2023

Appreciate it, Ondari D. Mogeni! The development of African vaccine manufacturing will undoubtedly redefine Africa's position in the global healthcare landscape.

Through the KEMIS project, we aim to demonstrate the value of multi-pathogen serosurveillance in Kenya. Since 2021, we have conducted serosurveys among populations residing within health and demographic surveillance sites in Kilifi, Nairobi, Kisumu and Siaya.

Today we commemorated #WorldHepatitisDay as we gathered to spread awareness around viral hepatitis and encouraged staff to get tested. Viral hepatitis causes 1.3 million deaths worldwide every year, and the number of deaths is rising. Get tested. Get treated. Get vaccinated.

Exciting opportunities! Apply for the IDeAL, Africa & KEMRI-Wellcome Trust PGD studentship in collaboration with Pwani University. This is a fully funded one-year studentship under the mentorship of globally renowned researchers. Deadline: August 30, 2024 Apply: shorturl.at/TqKHI
