Conducted between September 2018 to August 2024, this landmark study brought together key players including; the Ministry of Health, the National Cancer Institute of Kenya, County Health Departments, Tobacco Control Programs, health facilities, implementing partners, and civil society organizations.
In a forum attended by Dr. Ruth Laibon Masha, PhD – CEO for National Syndemic Disease Control Council (NSDCC), Dr. Emily Koech – Ciheb Kenya CEO, representatives from NASCOP, Ministry of Health, Nairobi city County, Kenya Tobacco Control Alliance among others, the findings for the study were unveiled (as shown on snapshot of the results above). The dissemination meeting provided a significant opportunity to share key findings of the study and engage in strategic discussions on how to strengthen tobacco cessation efforts for individuals managing both smoking addiction and HIV.
In this context, Ciheb-Kenya proudly recognized Riruta Health Centre, Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital, and Ngara MAT Clinic for their exceptional contributions.
With the invaluable support of Nairobi City County, these facilities have made substantial strides in assisting patients with both smoking addiction and HIV, showcasing a steadfast commitment to enhancing community health. 
The dissemination of these results marks a critical step forward in our mission to improve the well-being of those we serve. Ciheb-Kenya remains dedicated to leveraging these findings to enhance the effectiveness of our interventions and continue advancing community health.
