Kenya could save an estimated Sh3.9 billion ($30 million) in healthcare costs as it steps up vaccination of children to prevent the deadly rotavirus infection, an assessment has revealed.
A report by the Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri) and One Health Trust, part of the Global Antibiotic Resistance Partnership (GARP), estimates that the campaign would prevent over 60,900 child deaths and approximately 216,000 hospitalisations over the next two decades.
