The fight against Covid-19 received a boost after the Aga Khan Development Network donated Personal Protection Equipment and e-health learning equipment worth to five counties in the western region of Kenya. Speaking at Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital during the handing over ceremony, Aga Khan Chief Executive Officer Jane Wanyama said that the programme’s focus is on strengthening responses to the health, social and economic challenges Covid-19 continues to raise in Western and coastal counties of Kenya. “With the spread of the pandemic accelerating in recent months across the world and the emergency of the new Omicron variant many countries’ health systems will continue to struggle to keep up, particularly as the virus travels into more rural areas where access to health and up to date information on prevention is more challenging,” said Ms Wanyama.
