 My research is about looking at the quality of malaria care that is given to patients when they attend public health facilities in Kenya. I chose this particular subject because having grown up in a region in Kenya with high malaria risk and having suffered, also having suffered malaria as a child really made me have an interest in working in the area of malaria. And another thing that I'll say is I'm a nurse by training so I've worked in the public health sector and I've seen how patients are being treated but having that experience made me want to do something more than just being a bedside nurse. So that's why I moved into research so that I can impact policy be able to influence how patients are being taken care of and therefore this led me to move into the area of malaria research where I'm focusing on quality of care according to patients who have malaria and visiting the public health sector in Kenya. So what's quite interesting is that patients who are in the high risk areas require I come from, they're really getting better care but patients who are in the low risk areas where malaria is around 1% or less they're not getting the quality of care but the standards are that they should all be tested they should all be given at a meeting in a combination therapy which is a treatment for malaria after you test positive. So the reason why I'm excited is because I'll be presenting these results to the Minister of Health and the Kenya National Malaria Control just to show them that actually the care is being given is not uniform across the whole country and therefore we need to focus in these low risk regions if we really want to eliminate malaria in Kenya. The Open University has really supported my work first of all to give me the opportunity to be a student here a research student which I really thank them and also as a PhD student we do lots of literature review like articles they really have the very good online labor resources that have really been tapping in and getting any material that I need for my work and also even if it's not on the online database you can still use the Open University platform to access other databases like the Science Direct which actually learnt recently and I was so excited this is really nice to be able to access the content that I really need for my work. Before I joined research it was just about this patient comes to the hospital I need to do this as an ask but now I've really changed my view of how to give holistic care instead of is not only at the facility level it's the influence or the quality of care that I'm really advocating for starts at the top.
