At least 200 exhibitors are expected to showcase their innovations and latest technologies in the health sector during the upcoming health expo World Health Expo Nairobi and World Health Expo Labs.
Under the theme Advancing healthcare and laboratory innovation in East Africa, the expo is expected to provide a unified platform for policy dialogue, technology transfer and professional development.
“As East Africa scales up molecular diagnostics and genomics, Snibe is committed to ensuring innovation is matched by accessibility. We are partnering with universities and local laboratories to provide both technology and training, ensuring affordability without compromising on performance,” said the firm.
The 2025 expo targets to address urgent healthcare challenges and opportunities for the region.
Additionally, the Healthcare Policy and Investment Conference will explore financing models and public-private partnerships (PPPs) for system reform.
On the other hand, the Digital Health Conference will spotlight Artificial Intelligence, telemedicine, and data-driven tools that can expand access and improve efficiency.
“Kenya’s journey toward Universal Health Coverage is grounded in the principle of Primary Health Care. The five transformative health laws passed in 2023 have laid a robust foundation, ensuring equitable access to services, sustainable financing, interoperable digital systems, and a people-centred, data-driven health system. My hope for WHX Nairobi is that it catalyses greater political goodwill and innovation toward scalable, people-first solutions that can be replicated across Africa,” said Desta Lakew, Group Director of Partnerships & External Affairs at AMREF Health Africa.
The Primary Healthcare Conference will examine women-led leadership and community-centred strategies to strengthen resilience.
Besides strong focus on innovation, investment, and inclusivity, the events will also provide a platform not only to showcase cutting-edge technologies but also to build partnerships and strategies that will accelerate Universal Health Coverage and strengthen health systems across the continent.
