- [[Charles Mwandawiro]]: WHO Roadmap 2030. Why 2030? Efforts to control STH. We talk about elimination in 2030. It used to look quite far, but its only 6 years away. STH are ntds.
- NTD Kenya: We're at the boundary. We have a problem of NTDs. It can not be understated. Our colleages from the School of Health launched interventions to combat schisto and STH in 2012. As Dr. Mwandawiro indicated, nosequé. We're still seeing peaks of infection. Albendazole and mebendazole. We're not using a combination. We realized that we're not able to achieve our goal through MDA alone. In the Breaking Transmission Strategy(BTS) also calls for complimentary interventions. How we can augment the existing strategies that we have. The monotherapy might not be effective in the mixed infections we see. After all this years of MDA the remain of the burden might be related to the monotherapy. It reminds me of what we had with LF some years ago. What stop is bringing was implemented in 2018 and 2019. We didn't have a fdc so we had to administer alb and d and ivm. A total of 9 tablets to one individual. In a MDA taht is a challenge: acceptability. I'm happy that through this consortium we're able to reduce maybe the pill count that we'll be administering to the affected members in our community that have this parasitic infection. In line not only with the global roadmap but also with the strategy of the Ministry. The innovation might probably be used it may go a long way to controlling other parasitic infections.
- [[Charles Mwandawiro]]: Not only to sort out the problem of sth. The challenge will be: how do we monitor the effects on these other parasites. As we sort the problem of STH some of the biggest beneficiaries will be SAC. Once it comes into use are going to be SAC. The health of the children is going to improve, the general wellbeing too. We invite alguien de School Health en el MoH
- [[MoH School Health]]: I delivered a cohort of very good kids in multiple counties. I got another colleague. I'm a public health specialist. Im passionate on the youth. When I came back they told me, you delivered them, but they are now in school. We live in an age of evidence. The survival of humanity depends on our innovations. RCT gives good evidence, and we like that. Kenia has been burdened with STH. What can we do to fast-track. 30% of our population son SAC. They are a vulnerable population but the burden of this NTDs they haver disporportionate effects on this population. We want to have kenyans that perform at their bests. Distill the evidence and raise it higher. If its doing good in medicine, please do it. very passionate about translating research and evidence into policy.
