The Ministry of Health appreciates the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) for their crucial support in numerous programmes as part of a coordinated effort to improve border disease surveillance and screening.
Fatuma Adan, the head of IGAD’s mission in Kenya, was cordially welcomed by Nakhumicha S. Wafula, the cabinet secretary for health, to explore the possible effects of their combined efforts on public health.
Through the implementation of specialised training programmes for medical personnel stationed at the border, IGAD will support the ministry as part of this new cooperation.
The project expands on the long history of productive cooperation between Kenya and IGAD.
The Cross-Border Health Coordination will be responsible for a wide range of tasks, commencing with the synchronisation of local cross-border public health surveillance and control measures.
