Strengthening health systems starts with smarter diagnostics. CIHEB-Kenya is transforming HIV and TB sample transport—ensuring daily shipments, faster turnaround times, and stronger lab linkages

Across our programs, At CIHEB-Kenya, strengthening health systems begins with smarter diagnostics. In Machakos County, this vision is coming to life through an efficient HIV and TB sample transport network that’s transforming care across the region.

At the heart of it all is Machakos Level 5 Hospital, which now serves as a central hub for sample management and coordination. With daily sample shipments from surrounding facilities, results are processed faster, enabling timely treatment decisions and better patient outcomes.

This streamlined system has not only improved turnaround times but also strengthened linkages between health facilities and laboratories across the county. The impact is clear—faster diagnosis, stronger data flow, and improved patient monitoring—all key drivers toward achieving the 95:95:95 HIV targets.

By investing in smarter diagnostics and coordinated lab networks, CIHEB-Kenya is helping counties like Machakos deliver more responsive, connected, and high-quality healthcare for all.
