Kenya is set to hold the Health Summit 2026, from August 18 to August 19, 2025.
President William Ruto is expected to attend the summit, scheduled to take place at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), in Nairobi.
Health is a key agenda of the Kenya Kwanza administration, with Universal Health Coverage (UHC) a major priority.
Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale said the summit will showcase the progress of the Government’s health reforms under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), demonstrating how a Whole-of-Government and Whole-of-Society approach is transforming healthcare.
“We shall give numbers and data, and we will also tell the country the opportunities available to make sure universality of health of the people of Kenya is achieved,” said Duale.
