Kakamega County Government has begun implementing measures aimed at safeguarding HIV and Tuberculosis (TB) services through a sustainability and transition plan being developed jointly with PATH Kenya's Nuru Ya Mtoto project.

County officials on Tuesday held a transition meeting with representatives from the donor-funded project to deliberate on strategies that will ensure uninterrupted delivery of HIV/TB services and preserve the gains made over the years once the programme transitions.

The Nuru Ya Mtoto project has partnered with the county in strengthening health systems and providing comprehensive HIV care and treatment services to people living with HIV (PLHIV), significantly improving the county's HIV response mechanisms.
