During these past days, the symposium served as an invaluable platform for researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, community members, and other experts to showcase and discuss innovative approaches bridging the gap between research and real-world application. Participants honed their presentation skills, enhanced academic habits, received valuable peer feedback, and fostered networking opportunities for potential collaborations, gaining insights into various disciplines’ current research.

In addition to presentations, participants actively engaged in plenary discussions through posters, exhibitions, and oral formats.

Themed to drive transformational change by translating research findings into actionable strategies for enhanced healthcare, the Department of Health, along with strategic partners and stakeholders, led this symposium.

Our gratitude goes out to every partner and stakeholder whose contributions ensured the resounding success of this event, promising further enhancements in health services for the people of Kilifi.
