Health Transition to Adulthood Study in Kilifi-Dodowa: Addressing Public Health Challenges

Join the workshop by Evasius Bauni for a comprehensive look at Kilifi's public health landscape, focusing on transition to adulthood. Explore topics such as malaria, neurology, genetics, and social sciences impacting young adults. Uncover insights into diseases, including malaria, HIV, TB, malnutrition, and sickle cell disease, affecting the Kilifi community. The study delves into the epidemiology, demography, and human genetic factors contributing to health challenges. Integrated surveillance systems track vital health data, with home visits and clinical case recordings forming crucial components. Engage with key researchers like Tom Williams and Anthony Scott for a deeper understanding of invasive bacterial diseases. Through systematic literature reviews and stakeholder engagements, the study aims to identify gaps in health interventions and promote community well-being. Join the initiative today for a healthier future!
