    NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 2 — The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) will on Friday hold a nationwide candle-lighting ceremony to commemorate the first anniversary of the death of its founding party leader, former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga.

    The ceremony will be held simultaneously across the country at 6pm, with Kenyans in the diaspora also expected to participate. ODM says the event will launch a month-long programme dubbed “Mwezi wa Baba”, dedicated to remembering Raila and reflecting on his political journey and public life.

Early detection is key to managing the scale of the problem.

    Noncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases and cancers account for about 75% of deaths globally. Early detection is key to managing the scale of the problem. But that’s not always possible in rural communities, where there are often shortages of healthcare workers, long travel distances and financial barriers. Fragmented referral systems can also delay diagnosis and follow-up.

    This gap in prevention and early detection is one we see often in rural South Africa. As a health researcher and biokineticist working in the country’s public sector, I’m interested in whether biokineticists could play a greater role in closing this gap.

    Biokineticists are regulated health professionals who use exercise scientifically to promote health, prevent disease and support people living with chronic conditions. South Africa has an estimated 1,831 registered biokineticists, mostly in the private sector. They are scarce in public primary healthcare, particularly in rural communities.
