[Ministry of Health @MOH_Kenya]

Today marks the successful conclusion of the High-Level Dialogue on Healthcare Financing for UHC in Kenya!Throughout this remarkable event, we engaged in insightful discussions, shared innovative ideas, and collaborated towards a common goal: achieving universal health coverage through sustainable domestic financing.
As we reflect on the strategies and interventions discussed, it's time to transform them into actionable plans that will drive tangible change. Our key focus areas were:
🔸 More money for Health;
🔸 More health for the money;
🔸 Equity and Financial Protection;
🔸 Leadership and Governance.

[Nabeeha Kazi @nabeehakazi]

Agree! And flexibly funding and prioritizing support for CSO networks and accountability holders so they can the not only track and monitor those commitments but also demand they be delivered upon are key. #fundthechange #investincivilsociety @FP2030Global @SamashaUg @AHBNetwork

[The Motion Tracker Ke @MotionTrackerKE]

Governments need to progressively increase health sector financing as per the Abuja declaration by 2030. This will enable the country to cover the cost of implementing Universal Health Coverage & gradually increase financing of family planning commodities from domestic resources

[The Motion Tracker Ke @MotionTrackerKE]

Strong political commitment is essential for achieving #FP2030Commitments. CSOs need to continuously have dialogue with policymakers, provide evidence-based recommendations & advocate for increased funding & policy reforms
Together, we can make family planning a reality for all.

[The Motion Tracker Ke @MotionTrackerKE]

Limited access to family planning products hampers progress toward achieving reproductive rights and gender equality. It's time to prioritize removing financial, cultural, and geographical barriers that hinder individuals from accessing the care they need.

Dr. Mwai. A move to social health insurance fund is a fit for purpose to ensure #UHC and quality health services to all. Current framework leaves out 80% of population outside the financial protection. @MOH_Kenya @UNFPAKen @UNFPA_ESARO @PublicPathways @Amref_Kenya

[Ministry of Health @MOH_Kenya]

Dr. Daniel Mwai, Advisor to the Presidential Economic Transformation Team on Health, emphasizes the significance of preventive health, screening for non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and addressing social determinants of health.
