Ending AIDS in Kenya is a shared responsibility. Pamoja Tumalize HIV

Too often, stigma and discrimination and other barriers prevent people most at risk for HIV from accessing prevention, testing and treatment services. We can only end HIV as a public health threat if everyone, everywhere, can access the lifesaving health care they need.

Principal Secretary for Public Health and Professional Standards Mary Muthoni today hosted local leaders from Kikima, Mbooni Sub-County in Makueni County, led by Mr. Joseph Ndavi, who presented a memorandum seeking the establishment of a Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) campus in the area. The leaders noted that the community has already invested in facilities intended to host the campus and has sustained the initiative for more than a decade. To advance the proposal, the Principal Secretary said the Ministry of Health will undertake a technical inspection of the facilities, support necessary improvements, and work towards the accreditation and operationalization of the campus. She commended the leaders for their commitment to the initiative and reaffirmed the Ministry’s support for viable, community-driven health training institutions. Also present at the meeting was Dr. Andrew Mulwa, Head of NASCOP in the Ministry of Health.

Cleopatra Wanjiku: The main reason is that I wanted to inspire and motivate people. It is very unfortunate that we are still losing young people because of the stigma that exists in our communities. I always say that HIV does not kill, stigma is what kills #CitizenDayBreak

Ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 IS possible. But only if the world keeps showing up, investing, and taking action. The moment to accelerate progress is NOW. #HLM2026AIDS unaids.org/en/2026-high-leve…

Yes! Ending AIDS is achievable. ✅ The science exists. ✅ The solutions exist. Now the world must choose action. #UnitedToEndAIDS unaids.org/en/2026-high-leve… #HLM2026AIDS

Adherence to treatment goes beyond compliance; it means understanding your rights and embracing a holistic approach to living a balanced and healthy life. @MOH_Kenya @NEPHAKKENYA

Care for yourself like your future depends on it—because it does 💙 #HIVAwareness #SelfLoveSelfCare

Stigma and misinformation drive people away from care and undermine outbreak response. The AIDS response taught us this. Actively addressing both must be central to the Ebola response.

Adherence is more than just compliance, it is knowing your rights as an individual and taking a holistic approach to ensure you are balanced and thriving in every aspect of life. #SELFCARE #SELFINIATIVE @UNAIDS_Kenya @NASCOP @gnpplus @afrocab_hiv @nsdcc_kenya @MOH_Kenya @AfricaCDC @NJotwoma @KELINKenya @KenyaSRHR
