Japan collaborates with Ministry of Health to reduce mortality of newborns

KENYA – The Ministry of Health is collaborating with Japanese engineers on a Vaccination Management System (VMS) that will include biometric technologies. This system aims to improve the survival rates of newborns in Kenya.

One of the key initiatives is the development of a year-end biometric medical records system. The Ministry of Health is working closely with Japanese engineers to implement this system, which will streamline medical records and improve patient care.

Kenya and Belgium are also planning to strengthen government-to-government cooperation in expanding social and primary health in Kenya.

The partnerships with Japan and Belgium are expected to have a significant impact on the healthcare sector in Kenya.

With streamlined medical records and improved vaccination management, the country’s healthcare system will be better equipped to serve its citizens.

Additionally, expanding social and primary healthcare will help to ensure that all Kenyans have access to the care they need.

“We are committed to improving the health of all Kenyans, and we cannot do it alone,” Dr. Wafula emphasized the importance of these partnerships, said.

“We are grateful for the support we have received from Japan and Belgium and look forward to continuing our collaborations to improve healthcare in our country.”

Japan extends aid to sychelles

The grant aid, which is based in principle on ‘The Economic and Social Development Programme’, was offered by the Government of Japan to the Government of Seychelles to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and will also provide basic health services to the people of Seychelles.

A portable X-ray machine, defibrillator, syringe pumps and wheel chairs were some of the equipment. A four wheel drive ambulance which is being custom made will arrive later during the year.
