Global Fund Recognises Digital Solutions in Malaria Campaign

A team of representatives from the Global Fund, Ministry of Health, National Treasury, and KEMSA visited Kipkelion Sub County Hospital Post today to assess the current progress of the last-mile Long-Lasting Insecticide Nets (LLIN) distribution in Kericho County.

During the visit, Lisa Butler, the Global Fund team lead, lauded Kenya for its exceptional performance as a leader in sub-Saharan Africa in implementing a successful digital malaria campaign.

The collaboration among these key stakeholders underscores their commitment to advancing malaria prevention efforts in the region, ensuring that all communities have access to LLINs as part of the ongoing fight against malaria.

KEMSA successfully distributed 15.3 million treated mosquito nets across 22 counties, reaching over 5 million households in malaria-endemic regions.

By deploying automated, intelligent distribution systems, KEMSA enhanced the accuracy, efficiency and timeliness of net deliveries, ensuring that vulnerable communities received essential malaria prevention tools.

These initiatives underscore the Government’s ongoing commitment to integrating advanced technological systems that enhance the end-to-end visibility of all health products, strengthening accountability and transparency throughout the supply chain.
