Relationship between KEMRI and Other Organizations Involved in 
Communicable Diseases Control 
The MOH is responsible for implementing infectious diseases control in Kenya.  
PPHS collects the necessary information and data to implement infectious diseases 
control through the consignment of surveys and research to affiliated research 
institutes of the MOH, such as KEMRI and NPHLS.    Using this data, programmes for 
infectious diseases control are prepared by each unit and disseminated to hospitals and 
health facilities.    In event of an outbreak of an infectious disease in rural areas, rural 
hospitals send information to NPHRL, and NPHRL retests specimens from the rural 
hospitals, if necessary.    If it is difficult for NPHRL to obtain a diagnosis, KEMRI will 
be requested to identify and diagnose the specimens.    The epidemiological data that is 
obtained is disseminated to the MOH and the WHO.   
The relationship between KEMRI and other organizations involved in infectious 
diseases control in Kenya is shown on Figure 5.5.
