Kenyan advocacy groups, including the Health NGOs Network and AIDS Healthcare Foundation, are warning that the nation's escalating debt is severely impacting healthcare funding and other vital public services. They have launched the Freedom from Debt Campaign, urging reforms to the global lending system.

• Kenya is reportedly spending nine times more on debt repayment than on healthcare investment.
• Key organizations involved include Hennet, HERAF, and NEPHAK.
• The campaign highlights shortages of essential medical supplies like HIV test kits and antiretroviral medicines as evidence of the strain caused by debt servicing.
