The Ministry of Health, in a high-stakes meeting with the Council of Governors today, is setting the stage for a major push towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC), with the spotlight firmly on the rollout of the transformative Social Health Authority (SHA).
This strategic dialogue is more than just an update; it’s a deep dive into flagship collaborations, including the game-changing Microwave Waste Management Project and the nationwide expansion of the Assistive Technology Programme.
From revolutionising waste handling to enhancing access for persons with disabilities, the agenda is bold. The forum will also tackle critical gaps in healthcare training by focusing on postgraduate education for doctors, addressing specialisation shortfalls, and boosting the country’s capacity for advanced medical care.
Today’s meeting follows up on the April 14th, 2025, forum and reaffirms a united front between national and county governments in making UHC a reality for every Kenyan.
