Very happy to see our innovations translating into better care. The Safe Mama Tech program in Kolwa East ward has been running for a year now, and I personally join the bi-weekly meetings to review high- and intermediate-risk cases.
Today, receiving a report from our routine AI-enabled point-of-care ultrasound showing early detection and confirmation of a breech presentation, with timely referral for appropriate care, was very encouraging.
From next year, we will progressively roll out the program to all 35 wards.

We conducted an implementation review with Jacaranda Health to assess early use of dashboards and PROMPTS in Kisumu, focusing on strengthening effectiveness in addressing the first delay. The discussion examined implementation gaps, optimization opportunities, and alignment of EmONC training with the forthcoming RRI to improve coherence and system performance.
Jacaranda Health is a core partner within Kisumu’s Safe Mama Tech programme, which leverages digital tools to support timely decision-making, appropriate action, and improved maternal and newborn outcomes.
Joining me for the group photo was our RH coordinator Jane

It’s been 5 years now once we signed a MOU with VIBRI. The Kisumu County Government has enjoyed a strong and productive partnership with them through the Kisumu County Referral Hospital. This collaboration has made a real difference—supporting clinical research and strengthening hospital systems, including laboratory accreditation, maintenance of critical infrastructure such as generators, and incinerator support. These contributions have helped improve service delivery and patient care for our people.

Today, VIBRI reached an important new milestone. On behalf of the Kisumu County Government, H.E. Governor Prof. Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o, and joined by his Chief of Protocol Bob Madanji, I officially opened the VIBRI Clinical Research Centre in Kisumu.

This new Centre is more than a research facility. It includes a fully equipped clinical area offering both outpatient and inpatient services, supported by modern laboratory and pharmacy services. It also houses a dedicated administrative and leadership space to support effective governance, coordination, and growth of research activities.

The Centre positions research as a key pillar for addressing pressing health challenges, strengthening our health system, building local capacity, and empowering young professionals. Through close integration with the Department of Health and strong partnerships at all levels, it will promote evidence-based care, innovation, and community-centered solutions.

With full support from the County Government, this launch signals a healthier, stronger, and more globally connected Kisumu.

This Thursday, during our visit to South Korea, we spared time — together with H.E. the Governor and the First Lady — to visit the Miral Welfare Foundation headquarters and their special school.
We were deeply inspired by the incredible work Miral is doing for children with disabilities, both globally and in Kisumu County.

The special school supports learners from preschool to high school, with safe, thoughtfully designed infrastructure and a nurturing environment that brings out the best in every child. We enjoyed spending time with the children, playing games, and witnessing firsthand how their skills and confidence are developed.

For over seven years, Miral has been a strong partner in Kisumu, helping us expand rehabilitation services, build barrier-free classrooms, train special needs teachers, and empower parents caring for children with disabilities. Their partnership with the County Government—including the development of Kenya’s first CBR manual for Community Health Promoters and the establishment of an Occupational Therapy Unit at Ahero County Hospital—is transforming lives and expanding access to quality care.

We are grateful for this partnership and remain committed to building a county where every child is included, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive.

Accompanied Governor Prof. Anyang’ Nyong’o on an insightful engagement in South Korea, deepening our understanding of smart cities and how these innovations can shape Kisumu’s future. We aim to position Kisumu as a smart city with health at its core—leveraging technology, data, and smart infrastructure to improve the wellbeing of our people.
We were honoured to be welcomed by Kenya’s Ambassador to South Korea, Prof. Emmy Jerono Kipsoi, who graciously joined and enriched our sessions.
Great lessons, great partnerships, and a great future for Kisumu.
