Center for Public Health and Development at the Pan African Congress for Radiography and Imaging 2025!

We’re proud to join healthcare leaders, innovators, and educators across the continent in advancing education, technology, and collaboration in radiology to improve healthcare outcomes for communities across Africa.

Reflecting on the 10th Association of Kenya (MAK) Conference, we at the Center for Public Health and Development are proud to have hosted a panel on the national integration of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS).

Key takeaway: POCUS is a crucial tool for transforming maternal health in Kenya.

With midwives and nurses comprising the majority of frontline healthcare workers at Level 2–4 facilities, sensitizing them to POCUS ensures early detection, timely referrals, and improved outcomes for mothers and babies.

At CPHD, we remain committed to advancing policies and practices that make POCUS a standard part of antenatal care, because collaboration and innovation are key to strengthening our health system.

Final Day at the 10th Annual Scientific Conference & AGM of the Midwives Association of Kenya!

It has been an incredible experience engaging with midwives, partners, and participants who are at the heart of safe births and healthier communities, providing skilled care, saving lives, and driving lasting change in .

As Center for Public Health and Development, we are deeply grateful to everyone who visited our booth, engaged with us, and showed such great interest in learning more about our projects. Your inquisitiveness and passion inspire us to keep pushing forward in advancing health equity through research and innovation.

As the conference wraps up, we remain excited to continue these important conversations and build on the momentum created here.

As we recap some of the key discussions on POCUS from the , one highlight was the urgent gap in maternal care.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a minimum of eight antenatal care (ANC) visits for pregnant women, with at least one ultrasound scan recommended before 24 weeks of gestation. However, a significant barrier in many regions, including Kenya, is the lack of access to this vital diagnostic tool. With only 11% of Kenyan healthcare facilities currently having an ultrasound machine, expanding POCUS access is vital.

This will help close this critical gap, increase antenatal care attendance, and ultimately save lives by improving the early detection of high-risk conditions.

Center for Public Health and Development was delighted to host a panel discussion at the 10th Midwives Association of Kenya Conference, highlighting the need to integrate Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in antenatal care for early detection of complications and timely referral.

We also emphasized the importance of informed policy to guide the effective use of O-POCUS in strengthening maternal health.

is preventable, yet it remains one of the leading causes of death among women globally.

Here’s the proven path to elimination:
✅ Vaccinate 90% of girls against HPV to stop cervical cancer before it starts.
✅ Screen at least 70% of women to detect and address abnormalities early.
✅ Treat 90% of pre-cancerous lesions with urgency to prevent disease progression.

This month, we’re amplifying awareness about cervical cancer prevention and urging collective action. Prioritizing prevention, early detection, and timely treatment are critical steps to reduce the burden of cervical cancer as a public health concern.
