Dear Members, Colleagues, and Partners,

Warm greetings from the Kenya Cardiac Society (KCS)!
As we navigate the evolving landscape of cardiovascular health in Kenya, I am honored to serve as your President and to work alongside such a dedicated community of healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocates. Together, we have made significant strides in advancing cardiac care, promoting public awareness, and advocating for policies that improve Cardiovascular health across our nation and even beyond. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Kenya, and the need for collaborative, innovative, and patient-centered solutions has never been greater. Our society is committed to:

1. Enhancing Education & Training: Through continuous medical education, Symposia, workshops, and conferences to empower healthcare providers with the latest knowledge and skills.
2. Promoting Prevention & Awareness : By engaging communities in healthy lifestyles and early detection of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
3. Advocating for Policy Change: To strengthen healthcare systems, improve access to affordable cardiac care, and address gaps in CVD management.
4. Fostering Research & Innovation: Supporting local research to inform evidence-based practices tailored to our population’s needs.

 I urge each of you to actively participate in KCS initiatives, share your expertise, and champion cardiovascular health in your spheres of influence. Let us also strengthen partnerships with government agencies, NGOs, and the private sector to amplify our impact. As we look ahead, I am optimistic about what we can achieve together. Your passion and commitment inspire me, and I am confident that we can reduce the burden of CVD in Kenya.

Thank you for your unwavering dedication. Let’s continue to make a difference
Warm regards,
Dr Bernard Samia
President, Kenya Cardiac Society
