Two days of conversations, evidence and commitments shaping the future of health in Kenya.
Kenya’s health sector is at a defining moment. Landmark reforms, including the establishment of the Social Health Authority and the implementation of the Primary Health Care, Social Health Insurance, Digital Health and Facility Improvement Financing Acts, have laid a strong foundation for advancing Universal Health Coverage. Yet many Kenyans still face unequal access to quality care, financial hardship and persistent health system challenges. Convened by the Ministry of Health, the Kenya Health Summit 2026 will bring together government, Parliament, development partners, the private sector, academia, health professionals, civil society and communities to review progress and agree on actions that translate health reforms into better health outcomes.
The Kenya Health Summit brought leaders and partners together around six priority areas shaping a stronger, more equitable and resilient health system.
Strengthening Primary Care Networks, community health systems and equitable access to quality services.
Advancing Social Health Authority implementation, financing reforms and financial protection.
Building a resilient, skilled and motivated workforce to deliver quality healthcare.
Accelerating digital transformation, data systems and innovation across the health sector.
Enhancing preparedness, response capacity and resilient health systems for future emergencies.
Addressing climate resilience, environmental health and sustainable healthcare systems.
Across the Kenya Health Summit, leaders and health actors shared perspectives on the reforms shaping Kenya's health future.
A look back at the conversations, connections and moments that shaped Kenya Health Summit 2026.
