class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On August 8, 2025, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially certified Kenya as having eliminated human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), commonly known as sleeping sickness, as a public health problem. This achievement makes Kenya the 10th country globally and the second in Africa\u2014after Rwanda\u2014to reach this critical milestone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The disease, caused by the parasite <em>Trypanosoma brucei<\/em>, is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected tsetse flies. Without treatment, HAT is fatal, affecting rural populations dependent on agriculture, fishing, animal husbandry, or hunting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kenya&#8217;s success follows decades of concerted efforts, including extensive surveillance, community engagement, and intersectoral collaboration. The last indigenous cases were reported in 2009, and since then, no new cases have been detected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\" id=\"Kenya-sleeping-sickness-elimination\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gumlet.assettype.com\/downtoearth\/2025-08-11\/co5dl4a5\/Kenya?w=1200&amp;h=675&amp;auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=max&amp;enlarge=true\" alt=\"Kenya sleeping sickness elimination\" title=\"Kenya sleeping sickness elimination\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kenya sleeping sickness elimination<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_This_News_Is_Important\"><\/span>Why This News Is Important<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Global_Health_Progress\"><\/span>Global Health Progress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kenya&#8217;s elimination of sleeping sickness underscores the effectiveness of sustained public health initiatives and international cooperation.
