Climate Challenges and Public Health in Kenya

In Kenya, climate change isn’t just a distant concern; it’s a pressing issue affecting the health of its citizens. Rising temperatures due to climate change have exacerbated health risks across the nation. Heat-related illnesses, such as heat strokes and dehydration, have become more frequent and severe. Vulnerable populations, including the elderly and children, are particularly at risk.

The changing climate has also influenced the spread of diseases like malaria and dengue fever as warmer temperatures provide suitable breeding grounds for disease-carrying mosquitoes. The resulting increase in cases puts significant strain on the healthcare system, making it crucial to bolster public health infrastructure and educate communities on disease prevention and control.
