A recent US-Kenya health deal, involving $1.6 billion in aid, has been suspended by a Kenyan High Court due to significant data privacy concerns. While the deal aims to bolster Kenya’s healthcare system, critics argue it prioritizes US interests and lacks sufficient safeguards for Kenyan citizens' health data.

• The US pledged $1.6 billion (Ksh. 205.9 billion) over five years to strengthen Kenya's healthcare system, replacing previous USAID programs.
• The agreement, signed during President Ruto’s US visit, specifies that Kenya will provide the US Government with data derived from supported Health Programs.
• Digital rights advocates and legal experts have expressed concerns about the lack of accountability for the US Government regarding data usage and potential risks to Kenyans' privacy, leading to a High Court suspension.
