The signing of the historic Health Cooperation Framework between Kenya and the Government of the United States marks a significant strengthening of our commitment to the full actualisation of universal health coverage. This transformative framework prioritises the supply of modern medical equipment to our hospitals, the efficient and timely delivery of essential health commodities to our facilities, the upscaling of our health workforce, and the expansion of health insurance to ensure that every Kenyan is protected.
Under this agreement, the United States will commit 1.6 billion dollars to Kenya over the next five years-resources that will be channelled directly through government institutions, eliminating third-party intermediaries and guaranteeing that support reaches the intended beneficiaries for maximum impact and accountability.
We express our deep appreciation to the Government of the United States, under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, for choosing Kenya as the first nation to sign such a Framework. This decision reflects growing confidence in the strength, sustainability, and reform momentum of our healthcare systems.
This partnership builds upon Kenya’s long-standing health cooperation with the United States, an enduring collaboration spanning more than 25 years and backed by over 7 billion dollars in investment.
