Our video guest this week is Dr. James Kisia. He is the Deputy Secretary General of the Red Cross in Kenya. On the occasion of his visit to Brussels, Dr. Kisia gave us an interview where he explained the work of the Red Cross in Kenya, the link between health and agriculture and the actions undertaken to win the fight against malaria. In this context, Dr. Kisia has come to Brussels to present a report on ‘home management of malaria’ at the European Commission. This is the result of an operational research project where Red Cross volunteers as part of their communities, are trained to recognize symptoms of fever and to provide anti malarial treatment to the population or to refer the most severe cases to health facilities.
