Kenya is experiencing an epidemiological transition in its Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) burden. NCDs are a major public health concern and contribute to over 50% of hospital admissions and 40% of mortality, slowing down economic progress in Kenya. If the present trend continues, the health systems in low-and middle-income countries will be unable to mitigate the disease burden.

This rapid evidence brief summarises the key messages, recommendations and objectives presented at the 11^th KEMRI Annual Scientific Conference on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in Kenya’s public health system.
