Sometimes, a simple check-in can mean more than we realise.

September is Su***de Prevention Month, a time to remind ourselves that support, compassion, and simply being there can make a difference.

The African philosophy of Ubuntu, “I am because we are,” speaks to the importance of community and looking out for one another. It reminds us that none of us exists in isolation, and that we all have a role to play in creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and supported.

This month, let’s check in on the people around us. Listen without judgement. Notice when someone may be struggling.

Every conversation matters. Every person matters. Every life matters.

Local pharmaceutical manufacturing is not just an economic priority; it is a health security imperative.

Yesterday, Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF) engaged with COSMOS Limited, one of Kenya’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers and a valued KHF member, on the progress and implementation of Kenya’s Local Manufacturing Strategy.

We discussed the opportunities and the barriers to growing a competitive local pharmaceutical industry, including market access, financing, regulation and regional markets.

KHF is committed to using its convening power and policy voice to champion an enabling environment for local manufacturers to invest, innovate and scale.

A stronger local pharmaceutical industry means greater resilience, more secure medicine supplies, jobs, investment and a stronger health system.

Kenya must move from policy ambition to implementation, and KHF is ready to play its part.

KHF x WHX Nairobi 2026 | Advancing Healthcare Innovation in East Africa

The Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF) is pleased to partner with WHX Nairobi 2026, East Africa’s leading healthcare event, taking place from 16–18 September 2026 at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), Nairobi.

As Kenya’s private healthcare sector continues to evolve, platforms that bring together healthcare providers, technology innovators, manufacturers, investors, and other industry stakeholders are increasingly important.

WHX Nairobi provides an opportunity for the sector to exchange ideas, explore emerging technologies, build partnerships, and identify opportunities that can contribute to stronger healthcare systems across Kenya and the wider region.

KHF looks forward to being part of these conversations and to connecting with members, partners, and healthcare stakeholders at the event.

Strengthening Quality, Safety and Standards in Kenya’s Health System.

The Quarterly Quality and Standards Technical Working Group (TWG) meeting, convened by the Ministry of Health, brought together stakeholders from across Kenya’s health sector to review progress and address emerging issues in quality of care, patient safety and ethical practice.

Discussions covered updates on Health Standards, Quality Assurance and Regulation, the Hospital Ethics Committee, patient safety and quality standards, as well as insights from regulatory bodies, professional organisations and private-sector partners.

Representing the Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF), Prish*ta Vora, Vice Chair, Health Regulations, Quality and Standards, contributed to discussions focused on identifying practical actions to strengthen accountability, uphold standards and promote safer, higher-quality healthcare delivery.

The continued collaboration between government, regulators, professional bodies and health-sector partners remains critical in building a health system that puts quality, safety and patients at the centre of care.

On 21 August 2026, the Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF) participated in the public participation forum on the proposed Medical Practitioners and Dentists (Amendment) Bill, 2026, convened by the National Assembly’s Departmental Committee on Health.

Dr. Joyce Sitonik represented the Federation, delivering a detailed Memorandum that articulated KHF’s position on key provisions of the Bill.

KHF commends the spirit and intent of the proposed amendments, which seek to strengthen governance, enhance professional standards, and reinforce public confidence in the regulation of health practitioners and facilities. At the same time, the Federation emphasized the need for evidence-based, legally coherent, and practically implementable reforms that safeguard both patients and providers.

In its submission, KHF focused on several high-impact areas:

• Registration, examinations, and regulatory timelines: Streamlining processes to reduce bottlenecks while maintaining rigorous standards.

• Recognition of specialists: Ensuring clear, transparent pathways for specialist accreditation and practice.

• Professional indemnity insurance: Clarifying requirements to protect practitioners and patients without creating undue administrative burdens.

• Suspension of health institution licenses and patient detention/medical debt recovery: Advocating for balanced penalties and negotiated payment arrangements, in light of concerns that some proposed fines may be excessive.

This engagement demonstrated KHF’s commitment to constructive policy dialogue, grounded in the practical realities of service delivery and regulation.

KHF remains available to support the Parliamentary Health Committee and other stakeholders in refining the Bill to achieve its intended outcomes.

The Kenya Health Summit 2026 convened stakeholders from across Kenya’s healthcare ecosystem to reflect on the progress achieved, examine persistent system challenges, and consider the priorities that will shape the future of healthcare in the country.

The Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF) Chairman, Dr. Gakombe, contributed to a high-level panel discussion on health-system performance, addressing key pillars including service delivery, the health workforce, health products and technologies, and local manufacturing. He highlighted the significance of the Government’s substantial investments in Primary Healthcare, noting that these reforms present an important opportunity for the private sector to complement public efforts. In particular, he emphasised the need for private providers to increasingly invest in and transition towards specialist and super-specialist services, strengthening referral pathways and ensuring that patients can access the full continuum of care.

The Kenya Healthcare Federation is grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Kenya Health Summit 2026 and engage in these important conversations. The Federation remains committed to working in partnership with government, development partners, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders to advance a resilient, innovative, and patient-centred health system that delivers quality healthcare for all Kenyans.
