After an intense eight-week bootcamp, 14 journalists and health communicators from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Cameroon have officially levelled up—armed with sharper skills, bolder voices, and a mission to transform public health narratives across the continent.
The programme, hosted at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) Graduate School, was a collaborative effort between CLEAN-Air Africa, the University of Liverpool, and Willow Health Media. It aimed to bridge the gap between scientific research and everyday storytelling, turning data and complex health information into accessible, people-centred narratives that move the needle on public health awareness.
