Day 5 in Baringo- Training 💪
Over the first four days of World Hepatitis Day 2026 commemorations in Baringo County, the Reme-D.Inc team supported by our partners Eqpal Medical has clearly demonstrated that field-based molecular testing for Hepatitis B is possible – even in off‑grid, resource‑limited settings.
Using our mobile molecular platform, we have successfully delivered HBV viral load testing working in the sun and in the rain, and showing that accurate, high‑quality diagnostics can reach communities far beyond conventional laboratories.
To ensure that Baringo County – and its neighboring counties – can sustain and scale this approach, Day 5 focused on building local capacity. In partnership with Eqpal and county and national collaborators, we convened an intensive, hands‑on training session in Baringo.
A total of 51 clinicians, physicians, and laboratory technologists from Baringo County, Turkana County, and Elgeyo/Marakwet County participated. The program began with a scientific lecture on hepatitis and the spectrum of available testing approaches, delivered by Prof. Tarek Mansour, Professor of virology, immunology, and molecular biology at the National Cancer Institute, Egypt. This was followed by practical, bench‑side training on DNA extraction and real‑time PCR amplification, equipping participants with the skills needed to run HBV viral load assays and other molecular tests in their own facilities.
Our message from Baringo is simple:
Hepatitis: Let’s break it down – together, and right where patients live.
