The National Cancer Control Strategy 2023–2027 (ncikenya.go.ke/resources) provides Kenya's roadmap for reducing the burden of cancer through coordinated action in prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, palliative care, research, governance, and sustainable financing.
At the National Cancer Institute of Kenya, @NCIKenya, we remain committed to advocating for policies, partnerships, and investments that strengthen cancer services and ensure every Kenyan has access to quality, equitable, and people-centred cancer care.
Together, through effective policy implementation and collective action, we can build a future where fewer people develop cancer and more survive it.

Counties are showing us what works: practical, locally led solutions addressing health financing bottlenecks and improving service delivery, even within constraints.

Yesterday @drmatiko joined Fellaris Wambui and Mariam Bishar, on Fixing The Nation on @ntvkenya, talking Kenya's new budget and what it means for health.
Given how much we've been building in this space, it was a great way to start the morning.

Zero Mothers Left To Die
Kenya has vowed to end maternal and newborn deaths as mortality crisis persists among 20 high burden counties.
The launch of the ENEWE program is set to bridge the gaps in counties by providing adequate medical equipment and infrastructure.

What a timely conversation at #KeHSCon2026. Headlines on hantavirus & Ebola remind us that health security continuously pressure-tests our entire infrastructure. We must build permanent systems that resist panic-and-neglect cycles, creating a unified, resilient ecosystem.
We cannot separate epidemic readiness from primary healthcare architecture, they are two sides of the same coin. To ensure our systems finally have the memory to match our science we need to work together. #GlobalHealthSecurity #EpidemicPreparedness #HealthSystems #KeHSCon2026

Last week, we were in Nyeri County with the Department of Medical Services & Public Health for a inception visit around optimization of oncology networks across the county. It's good to see the progress Nyeri has put into building an incredible foundation in PHC.
By leveraging technology and a tripartite partnership with @NCI_Kenya and @Roche through the EMPOWER Initiative, we’re optimizing oncology diagnostic networks and strengthening the supply chain to ensure no patient is left behind. #HealthSystemsStrengthening #CancerCare

A future where every child is protected starts with strong partnerships and bold action.
Dr. Rose Jalang’o, Head of Kenya’s National Vaccines & Immunization Program, highlights the power of immunization as one of the most impactful public health interventions saving millions of lives, preventing disease outbreaks, and strengthening communities.
Kenya continues to make remarkable progress, now protecting against 14 life-threatening diseases and reaching millions of children through an extensive national program. Yet, gaps remain especially among zero-dose children in underserved communities.
As the global landscape shifts under Gavi 6.0, the focus is clear: equity, sustainability, and reaching every last child.
Together with partners like Rotary, we can close the gaps, build trust, and ensure no one is left behind.
United for Good.

Cancer risk factors are everywhere, but you can lower many of them by making healthy choices. 🚭🥗🏃♀️
Avoid tobacco, eat a balanced diet, stay active, limit alcohol, protect yourself from harmful infections, and get regular screenings. Taking action early can save lives. 💜
Together, we can work towards a cancer-free nation.

A single case of polio in a country, could lead to an outbreak across a region.
In 2025, 74 cases were reported across five countries in Eastern and Southern Africa.
Vaccines work. Let’s finish the job.
