"Kenya’s healthcare future is inseparable from its economic future."

That was the central message from Dr. Julius Kipngetich, Group CEO, Jubilee Insurance, during his keynote address at the Kenya Healthcare Federation CEOs' Forum, where he challenged healthcare leaders to look beyond the sector’s immediate pressures and confront the structural realities shaping its sustainability.

Slowing economic growth, rising medical costs, declining donor funding and the urgent need for stronger domestic financing are not isolated challenges. Together, they point to a healthcare system that must rethink how it is financed, how services are delivered and how institutions are built for long-term resilience.

Dr. Kipngetich called for stronger systems, greater efficiency and improved public service delivery alongside an enabling environment where investment and innovation can thrive. His message was clear: incremental reforms will not be enough in an increasingly constrained economic environment.

As Kenya navigates this changing landscape, dialogue between public and private sector leaders will be critical. The private health sector must anticipate emerging challenges, identify opportunities and help shape practical, sustainable solutions for the future.

Which structural reforms do you believe would have the greatest impact on the long-term sustainability of Kenya’s healthcare sector?

The Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF) Quarterly CEOs' Forum opened with remarks from KHF Chief Executive Officer Dr. Anne Musuva-Njoroge, who welcomed members and set the tone for the day, underscoring the power of collaboration, proactive engagement, and stronger connections across Kenya's healthcare ecosystem.

She reaffirmed the Federation's commitment to creating platforms where sector challenges can be surfaced early, solutions shaped collectively, and partnerships translated into meaningful progress.

As Kenya navigates fiscal pressures, regulatory reforms, and a shifting economic landscape, today's conversations explored what these changes mean for healthcare providers, manufacturers, insurers, digital health innovators, and the wider private health sector.

By bringing together leaders from across the healthcare value chain, the Forum continues to provide a space for candid dialogue, shared perspectives, and practical solutions that strengthen the resilience and sustainability of private healthcare in Kenya.

Economic shifts demand strategic leadership; the Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF) CEOs Forum is now underway with high-level conversations revolving around this.

Today's discussion brings together leaders from across the private healthcare sector to explore Kenya's Economic Outlook: Its Impact on the Private Health Sector. As the economic landscape continues to evolve, the forum provides an opportunity to exchange perspectives on the opportunities and challenges ahead, and to discuss practical strategies for building a resilient, sustainable, and competitive healthcare sector.

We look forward to the insights and conversations that will shape the way forward.

The future of healthcare will be shaped by the partnerships we build today.

As preparations continue for the 13th Annual East Africa Healthcare Federation Conference (EAHF), the Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF) is strengthening regional collaboration through engagements that encourage shared learning and practical solutions to common healthcare challenges.

The Kenya Healthcare Federation, together with the Ethiopia Healthcare Federation/East Africa Healthcare Federation delegation, visited Kenyatta National Hospital and engaged with the Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Richard Lesiyampe. The discussions focused on opportunities for regional collaboration and extending an invitation to participate in this year's conference, while highlighting the importance of learning from institutions that continue to advance specialised care, strengthen health systems, and invest in capacity building.

As one of the region's leading referral and teaching hospitals, Kenyatta National Hospital is also a key hub for medical tourism in East Africa, attracting patients seeking specialised treatment from across the region. Showcasing such centres of excellence at the EAHF Conference creates valuable opportunities to share best practices, foster partnerships, and position East Africa as a destination for high-quality healthcare.

Every conversation, every partnership, and every exchange of knowledge brings us one step closer to a more connected healthcare ecosystem; one where patients across East Africa benefit from stronger, more resilient health systems.

Collaboration across borders remains essential to building a stronger, more integrated healthcare system across East Africa.

The Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF) hosted a delegation from the Ethiopia Healthcare Federation (EHF) / East Africa Healthcare Federation (EAHF), led by Dr. Markos Feleke Haile, President of the EAHF, and Rahima Shikur Ahmed, Senior Advisor to the Minister of Health, Ethiopia.

The visit provided an important opportunity to strengthen regional collaboration, exchange insights, and reaffirm our shared commitment to advancing healthcare across the region.

Discussions focused on preparations and mobilization for the 13th Annual East Africa Healthcare Federation Conference (EAHF), which will be held in Addis Ababa from 21st – 23rd August 2026. Together, we explored key logistical and strategic priorities to ensure the conference delivers meaningful outcomes for healthcare leaders, policymakers, private sector stakeholders, and partners from across East Africa.

KHF looks forward to continuing to work closely with regional partners in supporting the planning and implementation of the conference, while strengthening the partnerships that are helping shape a more resilient, connected, and sustainable healthcare ecosystem across the continent.

The Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF) leadership yesterday met with the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Hon. CS Duale, for the quarterly KHF Ministerial Forum. The CS was accompanied by senior government officials, including Dr. Waqo (CEO, KEMSA), Dr. Kariuki (CEO, KMPDC), and representatives from the Social Health Authority (SHA), the Digital Health Agency (DHA), and other key regulatory bodies.

This forum serves as an important platform for proactive engagement, allowing the private sector to surface emerging issues, address regulatory bottlenecks, and strengthen collaboration between the Ministry of Health and private sector stakeholders.

Discussions focused on several priority areas:

Digital Health: Transition timelines for providers to full digital integration with DHA Superhighway as well as timely DHA certification for private HMIS providers.

Supply Chain: Pending bills owed to KHF members by KEMSA, expedited VAT exemptions for supply chain imports, and progress on last‑mile implementation of the national track‑and‑trace system.

Health Financing: The verification approach for NHIF legacy debts to ensure transparency, accountability, and timely settlement, as well as SHA payments to facilities.

Regulation: Registration timelines for facilities, particularly upgraded facilities, and broader regulatory alignment.

The CS and the MOH leadership committed to addressing the highlighted bottlenecks and strengthening coordination across agencies.

KHF welcomes this constructive, solutions‑oriented dialogue as we collectively work to unlock systemic challenges and advance Kenya’s journey toward Universal Health Coverage.

As Kenya's private health sector navigates an increasingly complex policy landscape, coordinated engagement between industry players has never been more critical.

The Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF) recently met with its members, the Industry Alliance of Health Products and Technologies (KAPI), and Novartis, represented by its Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) team alongside the Kenya and Rwanda team representing the pharmaceutical and supply chain sector, to align on key advocacy priorities.

Discussions focused on how KHF can better support advocacy efforts to address the sector's key pain points, particularly those arising from tax policy and regulatory changes. Participants underscored the importance of maintaining a consistent voice across advocacy efforts, supported by robust data and evidence to drive meaningful progress.

Looking ahead, KHF remains committed to actively engaging its members to better understand the challenges facing the sector, champion effective advocacy, and strengthen engagement with government. Through continued collaboration, we can help build a more enabling business environment that supports a stronger, more resilient private health sector.

Stronger health systems are built through collaboration, not in isolation.

The Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF) was delighted to host Emanuel Togun from South Sudan for a knowledge-sharing engagement as efforts continue to establish the South Sudan Healthcare Federation.

The discussions provided an opportunity to exchange experiences on KHF's journey, including how we have brought together the private health sector to drive policy dialogue, foster public-private collaboration, and build strategic partnerships that contribute to Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

We also shared insights on establishing technical working groups, engaging government and development partners, and strengthening private sector participation in shaping health policy and advancing resilient health systems.

As countries across the region continue to strengthen their healthcare ecosystems, partnerships and shared learning remain essential. We look forward to continued collaboration with our colleagues in South Sudan as we work towards a stronger, more connected private health sector across the region.

What happens when an entire healthcare profession operates without a comprehensive regulatory framework?

That was the central question as stakeholders came together to discuss the Medical Practitioners and Dentists (Amendment) Bill, 2026 and what it means for the future of eye care in Kenya.

The conversation highlighted a shared commitment to strengthening patient safety, professional standards and accountability by establishing a robust regulatory framework for optometrists and the wider optical sector. While the Bill marks a significant step toward formal recognition of the profession, participants also identified important areas for enhancement, including professional representation, title protection, regulation of optical facilities, recognition of foreign-trained practitioners, and oversight of emerging technologies such as AI-enabled eye care and tele-optometry.

As healthcare continues to evolve, regulation must evolve with it. A future-ready framework will not only protect patients but also support innovation, strengthen the workforce, and improve the quality of eye care services across the country.

The Kenya Healthcare Federation remains committed to collaborating with industry stakeholders and policymakers to advance practical, inclusive, and evidence-based reforms that strengthen Kenya's health system.
