At the 76th WHO Regional Committee for Africa, I joined Kenya’s delegation in advancing a self-reliant African health sector. As we reflect on reforms at home, our priorities remain clear: sustainable financing, local manufacturing, digital health and measurable results.

Getting more mothers into health facilities is an important step. Ensuring they receive quality and respectful care is the next.

At the #KenyaHealthSummit2026, @DrPatrickAmoth highlighted the progress Kenya has made, with nearly 9 out of 10 mothers now delivering in health facilities.

The focus now must be on what happens when a mother arrives: care that is safe, quality, respectful and responsive to her needs.

At the Kenya Health Summit 2026, H.E. Mama Rachel Ruto reinforced the commitment to safer motherhood and newborn survival. Through EWENE and the MNH-RRI, we are accelerating timely referral, facility readiness, specialist care and county accountability.

[Dr. Patrick Amoth, CBS @DrPatrickAmoth]

The messages from Day One was clear: health reform is not complete until people feel the difference. From financing and commodities to workforce, community health and emergency response, our focus remains delivering care that reaches every Kenyan.

[Dr. Patrick Amoth, CBS @DrPatrickAmoth]

Day One of the Kenya Health Summit 2026 reaffirmed one priority: reforms must translate into better access, stronger systems and real impact for Kenyans. The focus now is implementation, coordination and accountability across all levels of care. #HealthAsARight

A resilient health system depends on its people. Continued support for healthcare interns and engagement with health workers remains key to strengthening service delivery and sustaining progress across counties.

Today, as H.E. President Dr William Ruto opened the Kenya Health Summit 2026, we reflected on Kenya’s journey from reform to results. Progress in SHA, digital health, commodities, equipment, EWENE and workforce reforms is bringing quality care closer to Kenyans. #HealthAsARight

[Dr. Patrick Amoth, CBS @DrPatrickAmoth]

Digitisation is changing how Kenya uses health information. Data can now move from households, facilities and SHA systems to support faster decisions. With stronger surveillance, diagnostics and rapid response, we are building a more prepared health system. #HealthSummitKE

[Dr. Patrick Amoth, CBS @DrPatrickAmoth]

Kenya is making progress in strengthening maternal and newborn care through EWENE from better facility readiness to essential equipment, referrals and coordinated county implementation. To every expectant mother: please attend your antenatal clinic #Okoamamaokoamtoto #EweneKE

Kenya has activated its Public Health Emergency Operations Centre as part of preparedness against Ebola and other public health threatsWe have measures in place to prevent, detect and manage any cases that may arise

Director-General for Health, Dr. Patrick Amoth, provides a comprehensive update on the Ebola Virus Disease situation, as Kenya remains on high alert amid the ongoing outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Under the Kenya Malaria Strategy, Kenya is making measurable progress against malaria. Incidence has reduced from 105 to 22 cases per 1,000 population, supported by prevention, early diagnosis, treatment and the distribution of 10.8M nets across 18 high-burden counties.

[Dr. Patrick Amoth, CBS @DrPatrickAmoth]

As we prepare for the Kenya Health Summit 2026, today’s media engagement reminded us that health reforms must be measured by impact: safe maternity care, treatment without financial distress, and quality healthcare closer to families. #HealthAsARight

[Dr. Patrick Amoth, CBS @DrPatrickAmoth]

Emergency care depends on speed, coordination and access. The National Ambulance Dispatch Centre now provides a unified pathway to connect Kenyans to the nearest available ambulance. In an emergency, dial 922 for medical evacuation support. Every second matters #emergencycare

Preparations for the Kenya Health Summit 2026 are in the final stretch. Yesterday’s planning meeting reviewed programme, exhibitions, logistics, communications and stakeholder participation ahead of the Summit on 18–19 August in Nairobi. #KenyaHealthSummit2026 #HealthAsARight

[Dr. Patrick Amoth, CBS @DrPatrickAmoth]

Reflecting on the EWENE RRI review held on 16 July, one message remains clear: commitments must translate into coordinated action across all 47 counties. Together, we must accelerate progress and end preventable maternal and newborn deaths. #EWENEKenya #OkoaMamaOkoaMtoto
