The Clinical Information Network (CIN) held a Maternal and Newborn Quality of Care Feedback Report Stakeholder Co-Design Meeting as part of ongoing efforts to improve the relevance and utility of feedback reports for healthcare providers and other end users. The meeting brought together stakeholders to collaboratively design feedback reports that support quality improvement in maternal and newborn care, focusing on indicators that are meaningful, relevant, and actionable for healthcare providers, hospital managers, and other stakeholders. The CIN routinely generates and shares performance feedback reports with participating hospitals to support quality improvement efforts. The co-design process aims to ensure these reports better meet end users' needs and provide information to inform decision-making and drive improvements in care.

We are pleased to welcome the @wellcometrust Equity Department and Infectious Disease team to our Nairobi Programme. Our researchers showcased work across the Clinical Information Network, policy engagement and knowledge translation, surveillance and metrics and antimicrobial resistance.

For the final session @DrPeterKilroy, Senior Research Manager – Discovery Research presented on @wellcometrust Discovery Research funding, including the social sciences and open mode schemes. The session provided insights into funding opportunities for social science, humanities and population health researchers at different career stages.

The Training Department spotlighted our capacity development work, with an overview of @IDeAL_KEMRI_WT and presentations on the work being undertaken through the Postgraduate Diploma programme, highlighting efforts to strengthen research skills and develop the next generation of African research leaders.

From maternal and newborn care to health systems, health economics and climate change, our Nairobi Programme is generating evidence to address complex health challenges and inform better health policies and practice.

The #AfHESG “Advanced Introduction to Measuring Health Outcomes – DALYs” training is underway! Dr. @Kazungu_JK kicks off the training with a session on Introduction to measuring health outcomes, taking participants through the foundations of measuring health and why it matters. Measuring health outcomes is central to strengthening health systems by understanding population health trends, evaluating interventions, allocating resources wisely, reducing inequalities, and giving patients a voice. #AfHESG #HealthEconomics

📊The Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) session by Dr Olimpia Lamberti explored the concepts and components of DALYs, how they are calculated, their comparison with QALYs, and their application in economic evaluation and priority setting to support evidence-informed health decision-making. DALYs is a measure used to quantify the overall burden of disease by combining years lost due to premature death and years lived with disability. #AfHESG #HealthEconomics #KWTRP
