Mental Health: Experts highlight simple lifestyle changes—exercise, nature, social connection and stress management—as practical support for anxiety and depression. Donor Exit Watch: Concern grows as US-funded Stawisha Pwani ends in Coast counties, putting pressure on counties to sustain HIV, TB and lab services without disruptions. Maternal & Child Health: Breastfeeding remains a workplace challenge, with mothers seeking better support, guidance and space to feed. Health Infrastructure: CS Aden Duale chairs plans for 13 new Level 5, 300-bed referral hospitals to expand access and push Universal Health Coverage.

Connectivity for Health: Airtel and Starlink launch satellite-to-phone service in DRC, expected to help health workers and remote communities during emergencies.
