The term “viral haemorrhagic fever” describes a disorder that impairs the body’s ability to function on its own, damages many organ systems, including the cardiovascular system. These conditions can have a variety of symptoms, but bleeding or haemorrhaging is frequently one of them.
The World Health Organisation and the Ministry of Health Kenya have organised a five-day training programme on Integrated Viral Haemorrhagic Fevers (VHF) Rapid Response in an admirable effort to improve public health preparedness.
128 people from counties and sub-counties, notably from Narok, Kericho, Homa Bay, and Kisii counties, were effectively brought together by this effort.
In order to reach a larger audience and build regional capability, the training sessions are now being held concurrently in Nakuru and Kisumu.
This multi-county participation is an essential step toward building a collaborative and coordinated response to the potential threat of viral haemorrhagic fevers.
