Kenya Medical Association (KMA) praises Kenya University Biotechnology Consortium (KUBICO) for developing climate-resilient crops and animals to mitigate climate change effects on agriculture. KUBICO and KMA collaborate on biotechnology and GMO education, aiming to enhance public understanding and support. KUBICO received an award for public education on GMOs, and KMA CEO challenges partners to increase commitment to climate change mitigation. The National Biosafety Authority calls for public participation in the release of a locally developed GMO maize variety. The partnership aims to improve doctors' understanding of GMOs and support scientific progress.

The Undiagnosed Hackathon was conceptualized and designed by H.C., M. Cederroth, A.N., and A.M.D.V. Biological samples and phenotype data were collected by various authors, processed and analyzed under the coordination of A.M.D.V. et al. All authors participated in data analysis and interpretation, with A.M.D.V. et al. drafting the manuscript. A.N., H.C., and M. Cederroth secured funding.

A study by Aga Khan University found 47.3% of surveyed medical residents in Kenya at high risk of burnout, with female residents and those in paediatrics most affected. Stress sources included departmental conflict, workload, and work-life balance struggles. Burnout was linked to negative coping mechanisms like substance abuse, impacting patient care and safety. Implementing wellness programs and support services is crucial for addressing these issues.
