Mount Kenya University (MKU) is the first institution to be accredited to train Health Records professionals in the country after fulfilling all the requirements set by the Ministry of Health. The Director, Health Information Systems at the ministry, Mr. Gilbert Nzomo says the training of Health Records officers has come a long way as, initially, it was even done outside the country. “Many institutions are now training the officers and there is need to ensure quality. It started as a certificate programme and at the moment we have PhD programmes in the country,” he added. Speaking during the official presentation of certificate of accreditation to MKU, the Chairman, Health Records and Information Mangers Board, Mr. Onesmus K. Mwaura said MKU was the first institution to be accredited after fulfilling all the requirements. “As a board, we have embarked on streamlining the training of the health records and information officers in the country. One way of ensuring that all the institutions adhere to the set guidelines is through accreditation,” he said. Mr Mwaura said the Health Records and Information Managers Board (HRIM) is anchored in the HRIM Act No 15 of 2016 which became operational in 2022. “The act empowers the board to exercise regulatory and oversight roles on training institutions offering training in Health Records and Information courses,” he added. MKU vice-chancellor Prof. Deogratius Jaganyi, expressed gratitude to the Health Records and Information Managers Board (HRIMB) for the collaboration with his institution in the training of Health Records and Information Managers. “Universal access to quality health services and, in turn, improved health outcomes require not only more health professionals but also the quality and relevance of education in health professions,” he said. Accordingly, plans are underway to the process of launching a Master of Health Information Management Program. “MKU values the strong collaborative relationship that we share with the HRIM Board and remains committed to upholding the highest standards of training Health Records and Information management managers,” he added. MKU graduated its first Bachelor of Science in Health Records and Information Management graduates in December 2012. To date, the university has graduated 516 Bachelor of Science, 860 Diplomas and 383 certificates in Health Records and Information Management. “Our health records and information technology graduates are making an impact in diverse sectors including the government, Non-governmental Organisations, academia, and international bodies such the World Health Organisation,” noted the VC. Prof Jaganyi noted that the university remains committed to preparing the students to high quality professionals to serve as health care and quality managers at all levels of the healthcare ecosystem both locally and internationally. “Our programmes endeavour to expose our graduates to modern technology in the health records domain which ensures that they are capable of applying technology in the improvement of patient care and outcomes,” he added. Others who attended or were represented at the function were MKU’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academic and Research Affairs, Dr Mercyline Kamande; Registrar, Academic Administration, Dr Ronald Maathai; Principal, College of Health Sciences, Dr. Josphat Njuguna; Dean, School of Clinical Medicine, Mr. Peter Mwaura, faculty members and students. The news of the certification comes a few days after the university was re-accredited by the Nursing Council of Kenya to continue training nursing students. The Institution has been offering a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree for the last 12 years and has been subject to regular reviews by the nursing council to confirm that the university’s facilities, including laboratories, meet the set requirements. The reviews undertaken every five years are a legal requirement for all institutions of higher learning training nursing students. The Registrar Nursing Council of Kenya Dr. Lister Onsongo presented the re-accreditation certificate to the MKU Vice-Chancellor Prof. Deogratious Jaganyi.

Afrobarometer (www.Afrobarometer.org) is urging private-sector leaders and investors across Africa to integrate public attitude data into their decision making, as citizen perspectives are essential to building resilient, competitive, and future-ready enterprises. This call came through strongly as Afrobarometer engaged business leaders, investors, policy makers, regulators, and innovators at the CEO Conclave and Investors Forum 2026 in Nairobi, Kenya. The forum, convened by the Africa Asia Middle East Chamber of Commerce (AAMECC), brought together about 100 leaders from across the business ecosystem to explore opportunities for investment, innovation, and cross-border partnerships. At the event, Afrobarometer presented data on economic and social conditions tailored for private-sector stakeholders and highlighted the role of citizens’ lived experiences and perceptions in shaping consumer behaviour, investment climates, and business performance. “The environments in which you operate are shaped by the expectations, frustrations, resilience, and aspirations of people,” said Felix Biga, chief operations officer for Afrobarometer. “Citizen experiences and perceptions of economic conditions, trust in institutions, access to services, and lived realities all influence market behaviour, investment climates, and ultimately business success.” Participants echoed the value of integrating citizen-centred data into business planning. “As Africa emerges as a significant frontier for economic growth, those who lead will be organisations prioritising insights derived from robust data, particularly citizen-centred data,” said Peter Mutinda, president of AAMECC. “What is most important to me in business, especially when working with African partners, is starting with data, then building connections and cooperation, and only then moving into the details and country-specific specialisations,” said Pawel Zarzecki, an export manager at Bart, a health-focused manufacturer. Eve Mischeki from the Women in Business network also underscored the relevance of the findings presented by Afrobarometer. “As a woman in business, I see strong synergy with Afrobarometer’s data, particularly in the key priorities it highlights, which closely reflect the realities we navigate,” she said. This engagement forms part of Afrobarometer’s broader effort to deepen collaboration with business leaders through a series of targeted dialogues aimed at increasing awareness of its data and co-creating solutions that respond to both business and societal priorities.
