Liaison Group and the Rural Urban Private Hospitals Association (RUPHA) have launched RUPHA 360, a new framework aimed at strengthening private healthcare facilities in Kenya and aligning them with the nation's Universal Health Coverage (UHC) agenda.

• The initiative addresses challenges such as low insurance coverage, with only 2% of Kenya's informal workforce (83.3% of the population) having national hospital insurance.
• Managing Director Tom Mulwa of Liaison Group emphasized the framework's role in introducing financial discipline and digital capability for consistent, high-quality care.
• RUPHA 360 focuses on four pillars: financial sustainability, digital efficiency, compliance with UHC reforms, and operational capacity building, promoting tools like automated claims systems.
