Johnson &Johnsons already developed an ebola vaccine and that  that they had also developed a drug for the drug-resistant strain of TB.

“The opening of the new Johnson & Johnson office will play a major role in supporting our goal of helping to improve the quality of and access to healthcare in the region, while showcasing a model that can be replicated across Africa,” said Vittorio Sereni, Country Manager of the Johnson & Johnson office in Nairobi. “We are building a talented team that will lead the expansion of our product portfolio and continue to provide responsive, comprehensive care solutions to meet the evolving health issues that impact patients and health care providers here.”

Building on the company’s 86-year history in Africa, Johnson & Johnson will work in Kenya to support efforts to deliver innovative treatments, diagnostic technologies and service delivery models that address a variety of patient needs. While helping to strengthen national health systems and build research and development capabilities among Kenyan researchers as well as leverage its capabilities in advocacy to partner with local governments, NGOs and CBOs to meet the region’s evolving health care needs.
