For the Biotechnology stakeholders in Kenya, there is hope or let me say light at the end of the tunnel with the launch of Society of Professional Researchers in Biomedical Science (SPRBS) early in November 2023.

This is a body which will deal with regulations and licencing of Biomedical scientists in Kenya in collaboration with other parts of the world.

It is viewed as a big stride in medical research in Kenya as a big number of graduates from various research courses and institutions will now have a home and hope for jobs in research institutions with the help of the negotiating brother.

Common disease in Kenya

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevrntion in Kenya CDC, health challenges in Kenya include: high maternal and child mortality and a high burden of infectious diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria.
Tropical diseases, especially malaria and tuberculosis, have long been a public health problem in Kenya. In recent years, infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), also has become a severe problem in the country as noted in the wikipedia which also states that The burden of disease in Kenya has mainly been from communicable diseases but it is now shifting to also include the noncommunicable diseases and injuries.
In order to improve in our health status, the first step is to know the diseases affecting the country and to formulate important policies to takle each of these diseases. In the next weeks we will try to find out how the country is tackling these infections affecting the citizens.

IMPORTANCE OF HEALTH RECORDS
Health records and system is very important in every one’s life. Its process normally begins very early in life while a person is still in the mother’s womb. At this stage, pregnancy information is normally filled by the parents inside the clinic card. This information is very important to the person’s life and it should be done with utmost seriousness. And this is why both the expectant parents should attend during the first clinic session of the pregnancy.
The information collected during the first clinic visit includes the parents’ names, age, address and medical conditions of the parents and their family members among other information. The medical conditions information are normally asked so as to avoid or be prepared in advance for the baby’s health during and after birth. For there are a lot of genetic disorders which can be detected or anticipated during this process for example albinism, sickle cell anemia, and if the possibility of the couple having twins or triplet babies.
Another vital bit is the parents details recorded in the clinic card. This details are normally used during the processing of the person’s birth certificate. In case of omission of the fathers details in the clinic card and in the birth record at the maternity, in Kenya the person’s birth certificate will not include the father’s names or sir name. And this can be redone by both the parents visiting the ministry of interior, registration offices with original and copies of national Identification cards, the birth certificate to be corrected, the parents’ marriage certificate, the clinic card, and the properly filled forms provided by the ministry for the purpose.
And so it is very important to take the process of health systems very seriously to avoid the numerous cases of paternity issues brought to the ministry during the making of the birth certificate. For the birth certificate is used while applying for the schools, national examinations and in the application of the national identity cards and the passports by the citizens.
As it is important for resolving health issues throughout the life of a person. And in knowing the health history of the person.
