Abstract Suicide prevention is a complex and context‐dependent challenge. About 75% of deaths by suicide occur in low‐ middle‐income countries; yet, most current strategies build upon data from high‐income countries (HIC). The Kisumu County Government (KCG) Kenya recognized the need for action plan. In absence Kenyan national strategy, it also did not solely depend on recommendations HIC. KCG therefore convened multidisciplinary workgroup with stakeholders various sectors that led...

PURPOSE Women in low- and middle-income countries bear a disproportionate burden of cervical cancer incidence mortality. WHO recommends screening with visual inspection acetic acid (VIA), followed by treatment screen-and-treat approach. We evaluate access to diagnostic services after referral for VIA-positive or suspicious lesions gynecologist-led colposcopy clinic at major government teaching hospital Kisumu, Kenya. METHODS Data on women who were referred gynecologist the Jaramogi Oginga...

These often underused in national public health responses. line with our previous HIV experience and to support accelerate the sector’s COVID-19 response, we initiated a public-private project (PPP) Kisumu County, Kenya. this manuscript demonstrate PPP’s performance, using testing as an aggregator semi-real time digital monitoring tools for rapid scaling response.
