Board cracks whip on quacks
Recent reports suggest that there has been an influx of medical quacks operating as qualified health care providers in Kenya.Since January to November 2007, 148 medical facilities have been closed down for reasons such as operating without a license, lack of incinerators, unqualified personnel, poor ventilation and operating in residential areas.
NOTICE! Upgrade your skills or be locked out
The Kenya Medical Practitioners & Dentist Board (KMPDB) has announced that it will not renew licenses for medical practitioners who fail to undertake Continuing professional development(CPD) courses.
According to the board's guidelines,registered practitioners should accumulate a minimum of five CPD units per year for their licenses to be renewed.In instances where practitioners are registered in two professions, they are required to obtain a minimum of five CPD units per profession per 12-month period.

Insecticide and DDT
I dont have a gmail account and I do not have the time now to register. I wanted to start a discussion on the issue of insecticides and DDT, maybe you can post it yourself.
Malaria has had a huge toll on the African population and has significantly retarded the developing world economies since the 60s. We are however falling over our feet to adhere to Developed world regulations on exports to make sure that our crops and flowers do not include DDT and other insecticides which we now know have minimal dangers compared to the devastating effects of malaria. What if we sprayed ourselves silly like they sometimes do in the US of A and got rid of malaria and by extension saved on devastating morbidity and mortality and rescued huge chunks of our economies. Is the potential loss in export earnings greater than the savings we will make on our economies? Dont manufactured goods rather than agricultural products for export provide more value to growth anyway? And do we really have to cut off our limbs to "save the environment" at the behest of developed world while they are smoking the world away and "global burning" us which actually means more diseases including malaria? I say we spray to Kingdom come!

Help! Emergency treatment before a patient is referred to a hospital
A clinician working in a remote health centre in Kenya wants to compile a small handbook of handling emergency cases at the health centre before the patient is referred to the district hospital.This is a case of 'repackaging information' from complex text to simple text in which anyone can use.I have already recommended 'where there is no doctor' but more information is needed by the clinician.Someone out there please help!
