Today in Kilifi South, LVCT Health, through the Stawisha Pwani project, joined the global community in marking World TB Day 2026.

As a long-standing partner to county governments, LVCT Health remains a vital force in the fight to eliminate TB. This year’s theme, "Yes! We can end TB! Led by countries. Powered by people," underscores a pivotal shift from global promises to grassroots action.

Impact Action

Through the Stawisha Pwani Project, LVCT Health is turning this theme into reality in Kwale, Kilifi, Taita Taveta, and Mombasa County by:

• Strengthening Health Systems: Working hand-in-hand with the Counties to ensure TB services are integrated and accessible.
• Community-Led Solutions: Empowering local stakeholders to lead the charge in screening and advocacy.
• Delivering Results: Reinforcing the life-saving message that TB is preventable, treatable, and curable.

By bridging the gap between policy and the people, LVCT Health isn't just observing a day; we are accelerating the journey toward a TB-free Kenya.

We’ve kicked off a Master Trainers workshop for the C-it-DU-it (See it, Do it) model in , focusing on the practical shift from project-led to county-led quality improvement in community health. Over the next three days, we’ll be working with county and sub-county teams to identify enablers of and barriers to embedding quality improvement into community health services, while updating skills in facilitation, supportive supervision, and coaching. The goal is to build local capacity to drive and sustain quality improvement as part of routine primary healthcare, not as a time-bound project.

The workshop was graced by Dr. Adel Ottoman, Director for Public Health, and Everlyn Ododa, Chief Officer for Public Health, who reaffirmed the county’s commitment to scaling up quality improvement interventions. By the end of the week, we will have developed a county SWOT analysis, selected 39 level 2 and 3 facilities with linked community health units for rollout, and drafted county and sub-county workplans to guide implementation.

We’re looking forward to a productive week of practical planning, honest dialogue, and strengthening the systems that support work improvement teams on the ground.

No one left behind! 🌍

We are proud to see the disability community taking centre stage at the Health Integration Summit 2026 in Mombasa. Through LVCT Health’s support, persons with disabilities are accessing vital HIV services, including PrEP, counselling, and treatment, while taking their rightful place in Technical Working Groups (TWGs).

Under the theme “Health Without Barriers for Holistic HIV Response,” these representatives are sharing their journeys and shaping the future of inclusive healthcare. Despite financial hurdles, the mission continues: creating a world where health is a right, not a privilege.

The Future of HIV Prevention is HERE!

The energy at the is absolutely electric, and yesterday’s afternoon session proved exactly why! We took a deep dive into the future of HIV prevention with a high-impact session on Lenacapavir, the groundbreaking new injectable PrEP drug. Expertly moderated by Patriciah Jeckonia, LVCT Health Program Manager for Policy Advocacy & HIV Technologies, the discussion successfully demystified the science, usage, and side effects of this game-changing innovation. By breaking down the complexities of Lenacapavir, the session provided delegates with a clear, evidence-based roadmap for how this technology will reshape the landscape of public health.

The depth of the conversation was made possible by a powerhouse panel representing every corner of the health ecosystem—from National and County Government leaders to International NGOs and the vibrant Youth advocates who are driving the future of healthcare. This multi-stakeholder approach highlighted that true health integration isn't just about new drugs; it’s about collaborative policy, community trust, and inclusive access. It was an inspiring reminder that when we bring diverse voices to the table, we move from mere discussion to real-world impact.

The momentum is only building! For those attending the summit, we invite you to connect with our team at our Exhibition Booth today. Discover firsthand how our initiatives are revolutionizing the integration of health services and witness how we are translating high-level summit insights into tangible, life-changing action on the ground.

’s keep the momentum going as we build a healthier, more equitable future together!

A Future Without Barriers: Our Vision for Health in Kenya:

LVCT Health has long led the charge for integrated health services in Kenya. Today, we are moving beyond traditional models by embedding our proven HIV programs into the heart of a resilient primary healthcare framework. This is more than a strategy; it is our roadmap to sustainability and a definitive leap toward Universal Health Coverage ( ).

This is more than a strategic shift; it is our definitive leap toward Universal Health Coverage ( ). By bridging the gap between evidence-based research and national policy, we are not just providing care; we are architecting a health system that is a more equitable future for all Kenyans.

The upcoming 2026 Health Integration Summit in Mombasa County serves as a vital rallying cry, with the theme “Health Without Barriers for a Holistic HIV Response.” We are convening the collective will of national leaders, county governments, partners, and communities to co-design a future in which high-quality HIV prevention and care are seamlessly integrated into the services every Kenyan relies on.

Our goal is a healthcare system defined by unity rather than fragmentation; a system where care is delivered with dignity, free from stigma, and without the shadow of financial hardship.

Call to Action

The time for siloed solutions has passed. We invite you to join our Executive Director, Dr. Lilian Otiso, Dr. Patrick Oyaro, Chief of Party LVCT Health Stawisha Pwani, Patriciah Jeckonia, and Joseph Baraza in Mombasa from 15th-19th March 2026 to turn this vision into a reality. Let us unite to build a stronger, more inclusive health system that leaves no Kenyan behind.

Together, let’s bridge the gaps and deliver health without barriers.

They call it the "Silent Supervisor."

For years, Community Health Promoters collected pregnancy data during household visits, only for that information to sit in notebooks, unseen by the health facilities that needed it most.

Not anymore!

At LVCT Health, our C-it DU-it (See it, Do it) study introduced Community Household Antenatal Record Tracker ( ); a simple paper-based tool that is embedded in the mother-child booklet. It travels with the mother, gets signed by the CHP and the facility worker, and ensures every antenatal contact is tracked. Even in areas with no internet.

At the recently concluded conference in Nairobi, we shared how this tool, combined with Work Improvement Teams ( ), bringing health workers and CHPs together, is transforming maternal health quality in Homa Bay County.

Resilient UHC starts in the household, with a CHP and a tool that finally makes their work visible.

The C-it-DU-it project’s team recently participated in the User Acceptability Test (UAT) for the new electronic Kenya Quality Model for Community Health ( ) and electronic Continuous Quality Improvement ( ) digital platforms, convened by the The Ministry of Health, Financing Alliance for Health (FAH), and partners in Homa Bay County. This exercise simulated real-world quality improvement initiatives to assess usability, workflow alignment, and data visibility. Our involvement reflects a shared commitment to ensuring these tools effectively support community health workers in delivering quality maternal health services.

The UAT provided a valuable opportunity to evaluate how the digital platforms integrate into community-level workflows. By examining login processes, checklist completion, and dashboard functionality, we gathered insights critical to refining the user experience. For C-it-DU-it, which focuses on strengthening maternal health interventions, ensuring that technology enhances frontline work is essential to sustaining quality care and accountability.

Findings from the exercise will inform system refinements and training approaches prior to national scale-up. C-it-DU-it remains committed to collaborating with the Ministry and partners to deploy solutions that empower health workers and improve maternal and child health outcomes across Homa Bay County.

LVCT Health, through the project, jointly convened with and the County Health Management Teams (CHMTs) in and for high-level engagements on transitioning HIV and TB services to full county ownership. The engagements brought together implementing partners including KCCB ACTS and the CHMT CoAg in both counties to review progress and align on next steps.

The team conducted facility visits to assess integration across service delivery, human resources for health, data systems, and infrastructure. Discussions examined how HIV and TB services are being embedded into routine county platforms, alongside commodity security, digitization, and sustainable financing mechanisms. The goal remains a seamless transition that preserves quality and access.

LVCT Health and partners welcome the CDC's call for CHMTs to accelerate rollout of robust systems and structures to assume these functions. With strong coordination and technical oversight, the transition is firmly on course. We remain committed to supporting counties in fixing gaps and building a sustainable model that responds to disease burden and local priorities.

IT’S A WRAP!

Just wrapped up an inspiring week at the 16th KEMRI Annual Scientific and Health Research ( ) Conference in Nairobi. It was a privilege to host a symposium showcasing two of our implementation research projects aimed at strengthening community health in Kenya.

📍 In , we are implementing the C-it DU-it (See-it Do-it) study, focused on strengthening community health systems through enhanced ANC data linkage and utilization.

📍 In and Counties, the SHINE project is developing a comprehensive approach to promote well-being and resilience among Community Health Workers (CHWs), integrating training, community cohesion, and health systems support.

The conversations around research and innovation confirmed the critical role of evidence in shaping responsive health systems. We look forward to sharing more insights as these projects progress.
