Flooding can potentially increase the spread of infectious diseases.
To enhance good understanding of the health consequences of flooding and facilitate planning for mitigation strategies, deeper consideration of the relationship between flooding and out-break of infectious diseases is required.
This paper examines the relationship between occurrence of floods in Kenya and outbreak of infectious diseases and possible interventions.
This review intended to build up the quality and comprehensiveness of evidence on infectious diseases arising after flooding incidence in Kenya.
An extensive literature review was conducted in 2017, and published literature from 2000 to 2017 was retrieved.
This review suggests that infectious disease outbreaks such as waterborne, rodent-borne, and vector-borne diseases have been associated with flooding in Kenya.
But there is need for more good quality epidemiological data to cement the evidence.
Comprehensive surveillance and risk assessment, early warning systems, emergency planning, and well-coordinated collaborations are essential in reducing future vulnerability to infectious diseases following flooding.
