#COVID19 Put #Kenyan Health managers on crisis management mode now as #KEMRI does its core Business

The folly of health managers linking service provision and research ,this a catch 22 situation for the #HIV and #TB community .Now that #KEMRI is doing their core business nobody cares about us. The big question why cant we have #Genexpert and virallload  in  labs in at our  health facilities ? Where we have them they are none functional or experience eratic supply  of cartridges and reagents. Let research be research and let service provision be service provision .Responding to a crisis in such a manner brings out in the open why   priority is given to research institutions when supplying genexpert cartridges  as opposed to health facilities even when they ve  genexpert machines.
 Research is an important strategy that helps in improving our livelyhood. As communities we want over the board procedure that are transparent with integrity
Let's have our health facilities equipped. Let managers have plans to respond to such not in fire fighting modes.
