Development of Five (5) Years Strategic Plan for Service Delivery for Port Health Services Kenya MINISTRY OF HEALTH SHORT TERM CONSULTANCY – DEVELOPMENT OF FIVE (5) YEARS STRATEGIC PLAN FOR SERVICE DELIVERY FOR PORT HEALTH SERVICES KENYA 1.0 Background Port Health Services is a Division in the Ministry of Health that serves as the first line of defense against communicable diseases associated with migration of people, conveyances and cargo. Its functions are guided by three key legislations: 1) Public Health Act CAP 242; 2) Food Drugs and Chemical Substances Act Cap 254 and; 3) International Health Regulations (2005) amongst others. Its mission is to offer comprehensive and effective services to Kenyans/ travelers while ensuring protection from Public Health Events of International Concern (PHEIC) through law enforcement and use of appropriate precautionary measures and interventions. In pursuit of this mission, Port Health constitutes various health cadres namely, public health officers, nurses, clinicians and laboratory technologists so as to carry out the following activities: 1. Disease surveillance 2. Emergency preparedness and response 3. Food safety and quality control 4. Sanitation, vector and vermin control 5. Laboratory Services Though we have thirty four (34) points of entry, Port Health Services is established in the following entry points, namely; Lungalunga, Moi Page 1 of 5 International Airport, Taita Taveta, Illasit, Namanga, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Wilson airport, Isebania, Busia, Malaba, Lwakhakha, Suam, Nadapal, Lokichoggio Airport, Moyale, Malindi, Shimoni, Eldoret International Airport, Kisumu International Airport, Wajir Airport, Ukunda Airport, Kilindini Port, Mombasa Old Port, Lamu, Muhuru Bay, Mbita Point and Isiolo. Kenya is highly exposed to the risk of importation of diseases of international concern given it serves as a regional transport hub for East and Central Africa.

A strategic plan will serve as a roadmap to achieving the Port Health mandate. 1.1 Purpose of the consultancy The purpose of this consultancy is to offer guidance to Port Health Services in understanding its mission and vision, reviewing current operations and offering guidance in the development of a strategic plan The goal is for enhanced efficiency, health equity, accountability, and effective care leading to improved health outcomes.

  • A Study of Wilson Airport, Kenya
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 21, Issue 8, Ver.1 (Aug. 2016) PP 22-38 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Effects of Land Use Changes on Airport and Flight Safety; A Study of Wilson Airport, Kenya Paul Muthee Kanyi. Dr. P.K Kamau Prof. C. Mireri Department of Environmental Planning and Management.School of Environmental Studies, Kenyatta, Nairobi, Kenya Abstract:-The aviation sector is one of the most important sectors for any country especially its ability to: promote interconnectedness within countries as well as between countries. However, the sector faces many risks caused by various emergencies and accidents associated with the sector, and much so in the precincts of airports. The impact of these accidents causes monumental social, economic and environmental consequences to victims. The exponential growth of the sector in the country calls for special attention by relevant stakeholders to devise strategies to address disaster preparedness issues. This is especially due to the fact that the country has already experienced a number of aviation disasters and mishaps related to the industry. Consequently, this study sought to assess the effects of land use changes on airport and flight safety at Wilson Airport. This study was carried out at Wilson airport located in Nairobi West. The qualitative design was applied in this study to analyze and describe the effects of land use changes on airport and flight safety in a rapidly growing aviation sector. A total of 216 respondents were targeted by the study (including 150 members of the community, 30 aviation regulators, 30 air operators and 6 service providers) out of which 195 responded (including 132 members of the community, 28 aviation regulators, 29 air operators and 6 service provider) giving a response rate of 90%.

Thus it is important to put in place border systems which guarantee ease of movement of people and goods, while protecting the state against social, economic, health and security risks that human mobility and trade generates. What is Border Management? ❖Border management may be defined as all legal and administrative measures a sovereign state undertakes to secure and safeguard its sovereignty and integrity of its territory. Challenges in Border Management ❖Porous borders ❖Instability ❖Highly millitarised border communities ❖Absent government ❖Lack of capacity ❖Nomadic communities Border Threats ❖Human trafficking ❖Terrorism ❖Cattle rustling ❖Banditry ❖Contraband goods ❖Forged travel documents ❖Fake visas ❖Communicable diseases Role of the States 3. Permits and Passes Section ❖The integrity of physical borders remains critical to effective border management. ❖Even as international travel has increased exponentially, border management systems have had to contend with additional risks associated with these movements. ❖Such risks which include terrorist attacks, human smuggling and illegal immigration have exposed weaknesses in the state’s ability to manage borders effectively. ❖The last decade has seen huge governments’ investments to implement new border management frameworks. Border Architecture in Kenya. ❖ Kenya has a borderline of 4013 km and a coastline of 536 km. ❖ The country borders five countries, namely Somalia 682 km, Ethiopia 861 km, South Sudan 232 km, Uganda 933 km and Tanzania 769 km.
