Zero Mothers Left To Die

Kenya has vowed to end maternal and newborn deaths as mortality crisis persists among 20 high burden counties.

The launch of the ENEWE program is set to bridge the gaps in counties by providing adequate medical equipment and infrastructure.

We cannot separate epidemic readiness from primary healthcare architecture, they are two sides of the same coin. To ensure our systems finally have the memory to match our science we need to work together. #GlobalHealthSecurity #EpidemicPreparedness #HealthSystems #KeHSCon2026

[Savannah Global Health Institute @SGHInstitute]

What a timely conversation at #KeHSCon2026. Headlines on hantavirus & Ebola remind us that health security continuously pressure-tests our entire infrastructure. We must build permanent systems that resist panic-and-neglect cycles, creating a unified, resilient ecosystem.

The strategy is a "Hub-and-Spoke" model that seamlessly links primary health care networks, improving patient navigation and diagnostic precision. The goal is simply to improve survivorship in oncology care across the county and the country at large.

[Savannah Global Health Institute @SGHInstitute]

Last week, we were in Nyeri County with the Department of Medical Services & Public Health for a inception visit around optimization of oncology networks across the county. It's good to see the progress Nyeri has put into building an incredible foundation in PHC.

[Savannah Global Health Institute @SGHInstitute]

By leveraging technology and a tripartite partnership with @NCI_Kenya and @Roche through the EMPOWER Initiative, we’re optimizing oncology diagnostic networks and strengthening the supply chain to ensure no patient is left behind. #HealthSystemsStrengthening #CancerCare

[National Vaccines & Immunization Program Kenya @VaccinesKenya]

A future where every child is protected starts with strong partnerships and bold action.

Dr. Rose Jalang’o, Head of Kenya’s National Vaccines & Immunization Program, highlights the power of immunization as one of the most impactful public health interventions saving millions of lives, preventing disease outbreaks, and strengthening communities.

Kenya continues to make remarkable progress, now protecting against 14 life-threatening diseases and reaching millions of children through an extensive national program. Yet, gaps remain especially among zero-dose children in underserved communities.

As the global landscape shifts under Gavi 6.0, the focus is clear: equity, sustainability, and reaching every last child.

Together with partners like Rotary, we can close the gaps, build trust, and ensure no one is left behind.

United for Good.

Midwives save lives every day.

On #InternationalDayOfTheMidwife, we spotlight @FCDOGovUK, a leading partner supporting maternal & newborn care across Eastern & Southern Africa.

Huriyo’s care at El Dheer Health Centre reflects what skilled support makes possible.

@GatesAfrica Health system building, that's a key priority.
It’s more than treating disease; it’s about optimizing care networks, training workforce, and data-driven decisions. We need to prove that investing in the foundation improves every outcome and is key for systems that last.

Cancer risk factors are everywhere, but you can lower many of them by making healthy choices. 🚭🥗🏃‍♀️
Avoid tobacco, eat a balanced diet, stay active, limit alcohol, protect yourself from harmful infections, and get regular screenings. Taking action early can save lives. 💜

Together, we can work towards a cancer-free nation.

A single case of polio in a country, could lead to an outbreak across a region.

In 2025, 74 cases were reported across five countries in Eastern and Southern Africa.

Vaccines work. Let’s finish the job.

The key takeaway was that we don't need more fragmented programs, but connected ecosystems owned by governments, grounded in sovereign data, and built to last.

That is the architecture we are committed to building.

[Savannah Global Health Institute @SGHInstitute]

The global development architecture was built with Africa as a beneficiary not as an architect.
This takeaway from the Africa Exchange (#AeX) hosted by @RockefellerFdn & @HiltonFound defines the shift currently underway. We are moving from theory to implementation. #healthsystems

[Savannah Global Health Institute @SGHInstitute]

Redefining "Bankable": To bridge the gap with private capital, we need clearly showcase demand certainty, volume predictability and payment reliability. Our tripartite partnership with @Roche & @NCIC_Kenya in Makueni via the EMPOWER initiative is an usecase. #blendedfinance
