Last update: 12 hours ago

UHC Push: WHO has reaffirmed support for Kenya’s Universal Health Coverage drive, backing reforms under the 2024-2030 cooperation strategy and the local medicines regulator strengthening mission. SHA Rollout: Deputy President Kithure Kindiki says the government will intensify Social Health Authority registration to reach 40 million by year-end and register all Kenyans by August next year. Diagnostics to Remote Areas: Kenya is deploying mobile molecular labs to bring advanced testing closer to underserved communities, including Hepatitis B screening and viral load testing in places with unreliable electricity. Medicines Oversight: The Pharmacy and Poisons Board has tightened regulation with Good Pharmacy Practice Standards and digital verification to help keep substandard and falsified products out of the market. Health Summit Momentum: First Lady Rachel Ruto highlighted efforts to cut preventable maternal and newborn deaths, pointing to the EWENE plan and expanded SHA coverage. HIV Hope: A new one-time drug approach is being discussed as a potential way to permanently clear HIV in newborns if given within days of birth. NCD Integration: African health leaders urged countries to fold non-communicable disease care and essential medicines into UHC reforms. Power & Care Access: Kenya Power announced maintenance outages across 11 counties, a reminder that service reliability affects health delivery on the ground.
