Strengthening health systems in Kenya through governance, accountability, and strategic partnerships. Focused on enhancing health indicators across 10 counties
Malaria prevalence in Kenya has declined from 11% to 6% over the past decade, a clear sign of progress.
Sustaining this trend requires continued investment, coordination, and community-led action.

Kenya is making it happen: 88% PHC coverage, 96% Community Health Units, and 8 million Kenyans getting free care through the PHC Fund.
At the 2nd #PHCCongress, @psmuthoni noted: “Resilience is more than a slogan, it must be woven into the fabric of everyday Kenyan life. True health system resilience doesn’t start in the ICU; it starts where life begins, in our communities.”
She drove the point home: resilience is not just a word; it is a reality that must be built in Mandera, Homa Bay, Mathare, Lamu, and every corner of Kenya.
Game-changing reforms are underway: the Primary Health Care Act, Digital Health Act, Social Health Insurance Act, and Facility Improvement Financing Act are all now in force.
Let’s innovate, empower, and use data to reimagine primary health care.
