The Kenyan government is advocating for increased private sector involvement through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to drive digital health transformation and offset declining donor funding, particularly following the abrupt shutdown of USAID operations.

• Kenya stands to lose approximately Sh52 billion (around USD 400 million) from USAID funding cuts in the fiscal year 2024/25.
• Principal Secretary for Public Health and Professional Standards Mary Muthoni emphasized the need for sustained private sector-led innovation.
• The initiative aligns with the "Digital Health Triangle" concept, aiming to connect Universal Health Coverage (UHC), primary healthcare, and health technology.
