Activities in 2025
In 2025, MSF responded to measles outbreaks in Tiaty West and Moite, Marsabit County, working closely with local health authorities to provide treatment, vaccinations for children, and awareness-raising activities, as well as support for epidemiological surveillance.
In Turkana County, we launched a six-week response to tackle a surge in malaria cases. In addition to offering treatment, our teams distributed mosquito nets and trained community health promoters to test for the disease in remote villages. In Nairobi and Narok, we assisted cholera responses by setting up treatment centers, donating medical supplies, conducting community awareness-raising activities, and improving water and sanitation facilities.
Following deadly landslides in Elgeyo Marakwet County, we provided emergency medical support, referrals, vaccinations, and relief items such as jerrycans and soap. We also improved water and sanitation by installing latrines, showers, and solar lighting, and by supplying clean water.
In the capital, Nairobi, we expanded our youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health services by running mobile clinics in the city’s informal settlements. We also assisted people with violence-related injuries sustained in anti-government protests in Nairobi and Kisumu through ambulance referrals and treatment at the trauma clinic in Eastlands.
In Homa Bay, our teams offered general, specialist, and palliative care, and supported hospitals with treatment for tuberculosis (TB) and non-communicable diseases.
In Wajir and Marsabit counties, we worked to reduce deaths from kala azar, a neglected tropical disease caused by the bite of sand flies, by strengthening treatment, water and sanitation services, and preventive measures at Wajir and Loglogo hospitals.
In Mombasa, we supported the response to an mpox outbreak by providing inpatient care and vaccinations, expanding bed capacity for isolation, and improving infection prevention measures at Utange Hospital.
