Contexts, Facilitators, and Barriers to Integrating Portable Genomics for Outbreak Response in Coastal Kenya: A Qualitative Analysis of Participatory Stakeholder Discussions

2025-09-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> The Kenyan coast frequently experiences infectious disease outbreaks, but the response is often hindered by limited diagnostic capacity, diagnostic delays, and logistic barriers related to sample transportation and storage. Portable genomic sequencing technology offers the potential to accelerate outbreak investigations and inform timely public health interventions. However, a critical gap re...
