National Guidelines in Sickle Cell Disease Management Launched
July 29, 2021 Nairobi, Kenya The Ministry of Health during the Launch of the National Guidelines for Sickle Cell Disease Management on July 29, 2021, at Crowne Plaza, Nairobi, recognized that persons living with Non-Communicable Diseases (PLWNCDs), including sickle cell disease who get infected with COVID-19, have high rates of severe disease and complications. Furthermore, the Ministry has developed an Interim Guidance on Provision of Services for Non-Communicable Diseases during the COVID-19 Pandemic and issued an advisory to counties and other healthcare providers on sustaining sickle cell disease and other NCD care given the vulnerabilities of PLWNCDs. The Director of Medical Services, Dr. Andrew Mulwa, estimates that 6,000 children are born with Sickle Cell Disease every year in Kenya, and due to the absence of routine newborn screening and appropriate treatment, 50% of those born with the condition die undiagnosed before their 5th birthday in Sub-Saharan Africa. The disease is common across Kenya with a high disease burden in Western, Nyanza, and Coastal regions. The guidelines shall provide innovative and evidence-based approaches for managing Sickle Cell disease as they provide a guide on the continuum of care required throughout the life course of these patients.
How the Kenya NCDs Strategy 2021/2022 – 2021/2026 aims to transform NCDs Health service delivery in Kenya
July 27, 2021 Nairobi, Kenya The Ministry of Health launched the National Strategic Plan for the Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) 2021/2022 – 2025/2026 at the Panafric Hotel, Nairobi. The new strategic plan highlights the increasing incidence of NCDs among younger age groups and lower socioeconomic groups while calling for the prioritization of people living with NCDs (PLWNCDs) in the second phase of COVID-19 vaccination. NCDs account for nearly 46% of all deaths in Kenya largely attributable to the adoption of unhealthy lifestyles including tobacco use, consumption of unhealthy diets, insufficient physical activity, and harmful use of alcohol. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how health services are financed and exposed the gaps in the health systems on the maintenance of essential services with health receiving less than 9% of the Country’s budget against the target of at least 15%. “The development of the Kenya National NCD Strategic Plan (NSP) 2021/22-2025/26 is informed by the need to strengthen the comprehensive multi-sectoral response to the increasing NCDs burden “ Chief Administrative Secretary for Health, Dr. Mercy Mwangangi said at the launch. The developed NCDs Strategy places emphasis on population-wide prevention and control measures, as well as strengthening health systems for the whole continuum of care for NCDs.
