The Kenya Medical Research Institute is conducting groundbreaking research to develop a vaccine protecting newborns from infectious diseases contracted in hospitals shortly after birth. The initiative addresses rising concerns over hospital-acquired infections among infants, especially preterm or low-birth-weight ones who remain under medical observation for extended periods. If successful, KEMRI’s maternal vaccine could position Kenya as a leader in neonatal health innovation across Africa.
