World Health Expo in partnership with the health ministry targets to provide to provide a platform to showcase healthcare innovations, attract investment, and position Kenya as a regional medical hub.
According to WHX, East Africa stands at the intersection of push for Universal Health Care, strengthening of primary healthcare systems and the rapid rise of healthcare technology (healthtech).
In preparation for the expo expected later this year, WHX held a high-level networking event in Nairobi which brought together key public and private stakeholders for a focused conversation on the future of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in East Africa and the importance of the Digital Health Triangle.
“WHX Nairobi and WHX Nairobi Labs offer exhibitors and attendees unique, high-value opportunities to unlock healthcare growth and partnerships across Africa. Our Kenyan event delivers the kind of global exposure, connections, and deals you’d expect from a world-class healthcare and medical laboratory exhibition,” said Daniel Green, Exhibition Manager, WHX Africa Portfolio, Informa Markets
Kenya’s is seen as a leader in health care system which is a blend of public-sector policy ambition and private-sector agility which is enabling a new kind of healthcare that is tech-enabled, prevention-first, and locally relevant.
“With overseas development funding on the decline, it’s time for the private sector to step in as both investors and as innovation partners. The future of universal healthcare depends on how well we collaborate across sectors, especially in the face of challenges like climate change,” said Mary Muthoni, Principal Secretary Public Health.
