Vaccines Emerge as Powerful Tool in Kenya’s Fight Against Drug-Resistant Infections

Image
Kenya is stepping up efforts to combat the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), with experts now highlighting vaccines as a critical line of defense in reducing drug-resistant infections. During the launch of a new policy brief and report titled “The Value of Vaccines to Address Antimicrobial Resistance in Kenya,” health experts called for increased investment and wider deployment of vaccines to curb the alarming rise of infections that no longer respond to treatment. Antimicrobial resistance—commonly known as antibiotic resistance—occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve over time and become resistant to medicines designed to kill them. This makes infections harder to treat, increases the risk of disease spread, severe illness, and death, and threatens decades of medical progress. Globally, AMR has already been linked to more than one million deaths, underscoring the urgency of the crisis. In Kenya, the situation is worsened by the overuse an...

A fresh legal battle is looming over the leadership of Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) Kenya following a constitutional petition that raises serious concerns about transparency, accountability, and the legality of its recent electoral process. The petition, filed by Mtetezi – a grassroots economic justice movement – questions both the conduct of the March 2026 COTU Delegates Conference in Kisumu and the union’s failure to disclose key governance and financial records.
