Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a growing public health concern in Kenya and other developing countries. Many resource-poor nations lack the necessary systems for an
organized and comprehensive response to NCDs. This includes the absence of national
policies, strategies, treatment guidelines, and e ective surveillance and monitoring systems.
Addressing this issue requires developing context-speci c chronic care models, along with
standardized tools for patient and program monitoring.
DAT aim to collaborate with research institutions and scientists to develop and implement
tools that improve the intake, enrollment, follow-up, cohort monitoring, appointment
management, and reporting of diabetes and other NCDs. These tools will support better
patient care and program oversight.
The ndings from the researches undertaken will guide policy recommendations and
inuence the creation of e ective health strategies, helping to build a stronger national
response to NCDs. By advancing research and monitoring systems, DAT is committed to
improving the management and treatment of NCDs in Kenya.
