At
the 81st United Nations General Assembly, Kenya advanced its health goals
through a key partnership with Türkiye to build Uwezo Hospitals in six
counties: Taita Taveta, Isiolo, Homa Bay, Nandi, Nairobi, and Uasin Gishu.
These centers will specialize in maternal and pediatric care, with Türkiye
funding infrastructure and Kenya providing land and operations via the Social
Health Authority.
Discussions also covered climate-resilient healthcare, support
from the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation for digital platforms and rehab
services, and pushes for self-reliant pharmaceutical manufacturing in Africa,
led by Principal Secretary Dr. Ouma Oluga.
