“In Kenya, men and young people remain disproportionately affected by TB, yet they face unique barriers to care. Evidence shows that men are less likely to be screened and often have poorer treatment outcomes, while adolescents and young adults experience delays in diagnosis, treatment interruptions, and psychosocial challenges. To bridge these gaps, we must strengthen person-centered, rights-based, and gender-responsive approaches, through flexible clinic hours, male-friendly services, stigma reduction campaigns, and community-driven solutions, so that TB and lung health care in Kenya truly leaves no one behind.” - Dr Brenda Mungai

“To end TB and achieve Universal Health Coverage, we must strengthen primary health care. By embedding TB services at the community and facility level, we improve early detection, treatment, and follow-up, while ensuring care is accessible, affordable, and of high quality. With proper resources and strong PHC systems, we can build a resilient health sector that addresses TB alongside other health challenges, leaving no one behind.” – Dr Clarice Ambale

“TB preventive therapy is a life-saving intervention for children, household contacts, and people living with HIV, yet uptake remains low. Preventive treatment drastically reduces the risk of active TB, but barriers such as poor awareness, limited screening, and weak follow-up still hinder progress. Scaling up TPT within community health and routine HIV/TB services is critical to protect vulnerable groups and cut TB incidence.” – Grace Kwamboka - Centre for Health Solutions - Kenya (CHS)

Nutrition is a powerful but often forgotten frontline in the fight against TB. Undernutrition weakens immunity and fuels vulnerability, while evidence shows that providing adequate food to TB-affected households can cut new infections significantly. To end TB, programs must integrate structured nutrition support alongside medical care, making it a core part of prevention and treatment. – Dr Nkirote Mugambi-Nyaboga Centre for Health Solutions - Kenya (CHS)

“We cannot end TB with medicine alone. Poverty, poor housing, undernutrition, stigma, and inequality continue to fuel this disease. Addressing TB means addressing these social determinants, ensuring people have food, decent homes, education, and social protection. Only by tackling these root causes alongside medical care can we truly break the cycle of TB and build healthier communities.” – Prof Chakaya Respiratory Society of Kenya

We have made commendable progress. Kenya has already surpassed some global milestones in reducing TB incidence and mortality. But challenges remain: high loss to follow-up, catastrophic costs on households, undernutrition, and the continued threat of TB-HIV. To succeed, we must strengthen our systems, secure sustainable funding, and ensure that no one is left behind.” – Aiban Ronoh NTLDKenya
