In Liverpool only 73% have had both MMR doses, one of the lowest in the country.
In 2016, the UK was declared measles free. Now, Alder Hey has treated 17 children with measles in just the last month!
The number of deaths is going to continue to increase.

Measles is horrible. Problem is no matter how good the science and data we are dealing with a population that is traumatized by government that anything government affiliated is approached with extreme caution. I understand why leadership and governance is key for strong healthcare systems

The Ministry of Health has today launched a Nationwide Integrated Measles-Rubella vaccine and Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine Campaign, which will run from 5th to 14th July 2025 across all 47 counties. The campaign seeks to protect children from life-threatening but preventable diseases, with a focus on increasing coverage for these critical vaccines.
Children aged between 9 and 59 months will receive the Measles-Rubella vaccine, while those aged 9 months to 14 years will be targeted with the Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine.
The national launch event held at Githogoro Grounds in Westlands Sub-County, Nairobi, was officiated by the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Hon. Aden Duale, EGH.
The Ministry is working closely with county governments, development partners and frontline health workers to ensure the campaign reaches every eligible child across the country.

I wonder if theyโre usually informed by the IVF specialists? Another thing I always advice women planning for children to involve the paediatrician from conception. Preparation is key.

Working as a neonatologist: there are 3 insights I have gained about how to function effectively and efficiently on clinical service.
You have to be able to:
1) Switch between three modes of care (and thinking) based on the type of patient - acute care, convalescent care, chronic care, and mixtures of these types of care.
2) Zoom in (cognitively) to pay attention to minute details when required, and at other times zoom out to do 'big-picture' thinking.
3) Have an organized systematic process of carrying out all the required tasks (rounds, teaching, documentation, communicating, hand-offs) while at the same time be flexible and adaptable to deal with unscheduled demands such as deliveries, admissions, and sudden patient events.

Letโs convene on Sunday, October 6, 2024, at 7:30 AM at the Ulinzi Sports Ground Complex to run for her. The loss of life due to excessive bleeding after childbirth is a preventable tragedy, and together we can advocate for change #endPPH
Our friends, Calestous Juma Fellow @Obimbo24 Moses, MD, Ph.D. Postpartum Hemorrhage Project and its partners are hosting the first-ever #EndPPHRun to raise awareness of the dire impact of #PPH and how to end it. @gatesfoundation

Universities have ruined the value of medicine. KMPDC needs to handle the enrollment & training from year 1 to year 6, not CUE (Commission for university education).
Unpaid internship is going to be the new norm & there is nothing much we can do to help.
I will explain later.

This will gain a lot of (unfair) negative attention. Our clinicals have been largely patient centered, we spend nearly all our time in the wards, clinics and theatres. If anything, online sessions for specific lectures have helped deter certain challenges such as space issues.

CoG Chairโฉ and entire โฆ@KenyaGovernorsโฉ arenโt being sincere that implementation of the doctorsโ CBA Basic Salaries will distort salaries in the civil service.
The figures we signed in the CBA 2017-2021 were delivered straight from SRC.
We compromised our own demands.
Brian Maugo ๐ฐ๐ช retweeted
Dear Kenyans. At no one time did doctors say they deserve more pay than they're getting.
Medical officer interns have up to now been getting paid 206,000/=, as per the @kmpdu CBA signed in 2017.
And at no time did they say other cadres deserve less.

Thank you @KenMijungu for hitting the nail on the head. This is aptly researched and put.
