National Syndemic Diseases Control Council (NSDCC)

What National Syndemic Diseases Control Council (NSDCC) does

The National Syndemic Diseases Control Council (NSDCC) is a Kenyan State Corporation established in 1999 under the National AIDS Control Council Order and renamed in 2022 via Legal Notice 143 to reflect its expanded mandate across HIV, sexually transmitted infections, malaria, leprosy, tuberculosis, and lung disease. Operating under the Ministry of Health, NSDCC coordinates Kenya's multisectoral response to these syndemic diseases across all 47 counties, engaging county governments, development partners, civil society, and communities through policy development, resource mobilization, technical support, strategic information management, and public education.

NSDCC's core product portfolio centers on digital health data infrastructure: the Kenya Health Metrics & Informatics Dashboard and the Kenya HIV Estimates Portal provide national and county-level data analytics covering 1.48 million people living with HIV, treatment cascade metrics (93% knowledge of status, 91% on ART, 87% viral suppression), and prevention-of-mother-to-child transmission indicators. Additional platforms include the developing Maarifa Health Hub digital health promotion platform, the Situation Room monitoring tool, and MAISHA Reporting Tools for M&E. In 2026, NSDCC launched Lenacapavir (twice-yearly injectable PrEP) at Riruta Health Centre with rollout across 15 counties.

NSDCC is funded through Government of Kenya budget allocations and development partner support (PEPFAR, Global Fund, UNAIDS, WHO, UNICEF, CHAI, and others). It employs 63 staff at its Nairobi headquarters (Maktaba Kuu Building, Upperhill) and operates with a sales-led government coordination model, delivering services free to the public through Kenya's public health system, county health departments, and partner facilities.
