The prevalence of obesity among children is becoming a great concern to many parents in Kenya. Nationally, 5 percent of Kenyan children aged 0-59 months are overweight.
World Health Organisation (WHO) on April 26 declared Rwanda trypanosomiasis-free, effectively becoming the second country on the continent to eliminate the fatal disease commonly known as sleeping sickness.
The elimination of the disease now offers tourists more reasons to choose Rwanda as their travel destination, suggests Dr. Aimable Mbituyumuremyi, head of malaria and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) division of Rwanda Biomedical Center.
