[William Samoei Ruto, PhD @WilliamsRuto]

Maternal or newborn death does not only devastate a family, but it also weakens the very foundation of a community and a nation.

By protecting mothers and children, we are not merely saving lives; we are breaking cycles of poverty and building a stronger future for Kenya.

[William Samoei Ruto, PhD @WilliamsRuto]

Launched the Every Woman Every Newborn Everywhere (EWENE) Acceleration Plan 2026-2028, Kenya’s national roadmap to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths.

At the centre of this plan is an immediate six-month Maternal and Newborn Health Rapid Results Initiative, running from now until November 2026.

This will be an urgent nationwide effort to deliver measurable results and accelerate action where it matters most.

To further guarantee the dignity and safety of every mother, the National Treasury will allocate an additional KSh4 billion to the Social Health Authority (SHA) to cover premiums for pregnant women.

Moreover, Kenya Medical Supply Agency will receive an additional KSh1 billion for the procurement of life-saving maternal and newborn health commodities alongside KSh2.5 billion for family planning commodities.

We shall also recruit and deploy 5,000 nurses and midwives across the country to strengthen frontline healthcare services and ensure more mothers and newborns receive the quality healthcare they deserve.

Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale today met the National Nurses Association of Kenya delegation, led by Chairperson Collins Otieno Ojwang, to discuss key priorities affecting nurses and healthcare delivery.

Nurses form the backbone of the health system, accounting for nearly 70 per cent of the workforce and playing a central role in advancing Universal Health Coverage. The engagement highlighted the need for sustained support and collaboration to strengthen service delivery across the country.

Discussions focused on practical measures to improve quality of care, including strengthening training in antenatal care (ANC), identified as a priority for improving maternal and newborn outcomes.

Preparations for International Nurses Day (6–12 May 2026) under the theme “Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives” were also reviewed. The week will support community-based programmes and recognise the vital contribution of nurses in strengthening health systems.

The CS reaffirmed the critical role of nurses as the backbone of the healthcare system, working alongside Community Health Promoters to deliver essential services at all levels of care, and underscored ongoing reforms to strengthen primary healthcare, expand access, and improve quality outcomes.

The meeting was attended by Director General for Health Dr. Patrick Amoth, Dr Andrew Toro, Registrar of the Nursing Council of Kenya Dr Lister Onsongo, representatives from Johnson & Johnson, and Ministry technical teams.

Every mother and newborn deserve respectful, dignified, compassionate care regardless of their age or background.

Treat ALL patients including teenage mothers, vulnerable women with the dignity they deserve during delivery and postnatal care.

Treated nets, save lives

Always sleep under insecticide-treated mosquito nets to protect yourself and your baby from mosquito bites that can cause malaria. #Malaria can also cause pregnancy complications.
