HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BITTER LEAF. Bitterleaf also known as VERNONIA AMYGDALINA in scientific parlance is an aborigine of Africa. It can be cooked, juiced or chewed raw. Regular consumption of this vegetable helps to regulate blood cholesterol levels which is a risk factor for heart attack and stroke. Bitter leaf is rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Due to the presence of nutrients especially BETA CAROTENE, it controls the synthesis of female s*x hormones. This allows women to stay younger and healthy for a longer duration of time. Bitter leaf has been shown to significantly LOWER BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS. It does not only reduce blood sugar, it also helps to repair the pancreas. The plant has been widely used and recognised for its efficacy in preventing malaria. DRINKING THE JUICE ALONE IS AN ANTIDOTE FOR MALARIA. Consumption of the plant is helpful in increasing milk production in breast feeding mothers. It increases appetite in anorexia(loss of appetite). It is also useful in treating sleeplessness(insomnia) and boosting immune function. It can be utilised in the management of coughs, helminthiasis(worm infestations) constipation ,and as fertility inducers. There are strong revelations that bitter leaf if incorporated in the diet can slow cancer growth and even kill cancer cells. Luckily, the bitter leaf plant can be grown almost on all soils around the world. For more information, please consult your health care provider. Edited by Dr Joseph Madu MPSN, FWAPCP.

Healthcare News From Kenya ( East Africa ).

KENYA HAS STARTED ADMINISTERING HIV PREVENTION VACCINE ( MEDICATION )

Kenya was among nine African Countries selected last year to introduce LENACAPAVIR , which has already been introduced in South Africa, Eswatini and Zambia since December 2025.
About a week ago, Kenya received its first batch of 21000 doses through a deal with lenacapavir's pharmaceutical manufacturer, Gilead Sciences, and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS.

Lenacapavir , taken twice a year, has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV transmission by more than 99.9 percent, though it is technically a regular medication rather than a vaccine ( as often referred to in News ) because it does not provoke the immune system similar to how vaccines work.
It is a long acting injectable that provides six months of protection against HIV with just two injection slots per year.
The Kenyan Ministry of Health launched the rollout on February 26, 2026, with the first doses administered in Nairobi.
The drug which is marketed as SUNLENCA or YEZTUGO is provided free of charge at selected public health facilities, particularly targeting adolescent girls, young women and high risk groups in 15 priority countries.
Kenya is therefore one of the first countries in the world to introduce this long-acting, twice yearly prevention option.
Many are of the opinion that this new innovation drug offers greater privacy compared to the ones with regular visits to health clinics for treatment.
It is a "relief" for those who have regular unprotected s*x but usually forget to take the oral pre-exposure prophylaxis ( PrEP).

Actualités sur la santé du Kenya (Afrique de l'Est).

LE KENYA A COMMENCÉ À ADMINISTER UNE VACCINE DE PRÉVENTION DU VIH (MÉDICAMENT)

Le Kenya faisait partie des neuf pays africains sélectionnés l'année dernière pour introduire le LENACAPAVIR, qui a déjà été introduit en Afrique du Sud, à Eswatini et en Zambie depuis décembre 2025.
Il y a environ une semaine, le Kenya a reçu son premier lot de 21 000 doses grâce à un accord avec le fabricant pharmaceutique du lenacapavir, Gilead Sciences, et le Fonds mondial pour la lutte contre le sida.

Il a été démontré que le lenacapavir, pris deux fois par an, réduit le risque de transmission du VIH de plus de 99,9%, bien qu'il s'agisse techniquement d'un médicament ordinaire plutôt que d'un vaccin (comme on l'appelle souvent dans les actualités) car il ne provoque pas la stimulation du système immunitaire comme le font les vaccins.
Il s'agit d'un injectable à action prolongée qui offre six mois de protection contre le VIH avec seulement deux emplacements pour les injections par an.
Le ministère kenyan de la Santé a lancé le déploiement le 26 février 2026, les premières doses étant administrées à Nairobi.
Le médicament, commercialisé sous le nom de SUNLENCA ou YEZTUGO, est fourni gratuitement dans certains établissements de santé publique, ciblant notamment les adolescentes, les jeunes femmes et les groupes à haut risque dans 15 pays prioritaires.
Le Kenya est donc l'un des premiers pays au monde à introduire cette option de prévention bien établie, qui existe deux fois par an.
Beaucoup estiment que ce nouveau médicament innovant offre une plus grande confidentialité par rapport à ceux qui ont des visites régulières dans les cliniques de santé pour se faire soigner.
C'est un " soulagement " pour ceux qui ont des rapports s*xuels réguliers sans protection mais qui oublient généralement de prendre la prophylaxie orale avant l'exposition (PRE).
