  • Cholera in Kenya

    Open AccessKevin Wamae, John Magudha et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Cholera remains a major public health challenge in Kenya, driven by environmental pollution, poor water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities, weak monitoring systems, and climate effects. While there have been improvements in studying the disease, testing, monitoring, and environmental checks, the spread continues, especially in informal settlements, rural areas, and refugee camps. This review looked at 106 peer-reviewed studies published b…

  • Access to hypertension services and health-seeking experiences in rural Coastal Kenya

    Open AccessRobinson Oyando, Nancy Kagwanja et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Globally, hypertension causes 10.8 million deaths annually. However, in Kenya, like in other low-and middle-income countries, access to hypertension care remains limited and inequitable. Understanding patients’ journeys in accessing care along the care cascade is critical to inform patient-centred care and policy improvements. This study aimed to explore patient experiences in accessing primary care services for hypertension along the care cascad…

  • A framework for managing health research capacity strengthening consortia

    There has been a steady increase in health research capacity strengthening (HRCS) consortia and programmes. However, their structures and management practices and the effect on the capacity strengthening outcomes have been underexamined. We conducted a case study involving three HRCS consortia where we critically examined the consortia’s decision-making processes, strategies for resolving management tensions and the potential implications for con…

  • The burden of neurological impairments and disability in older children measured in disability-adjusted life-years in rural Kenya

    Open AccessJonathan A Abuga, Symon M Kariuki et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Neurological impairment (NI) and disability are common in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), but the overall burden in terms of morbidity and mortality in older children remains unknown. We estimated the burden of NI in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years of life lost to premature mortality (YLLs), and years lived with disability (YLDs) for older children in a defined rural setting in Kenya. We used empirical and literature estimates to model th…
