    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Kenya (CDC-Kenya) saves lives and advances science and technology in Kenya and East Africa, particularly where current solutions are lacking. Once tools are shown to be effective, CDC-Kenya evaluates ways to improve their delivery and address obstacles. CDC-Kenya then helps translate research findings into policy recommendations alongside the Government of Kenya, World Health Organization, and other partners.
