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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
