Public Health Principal Secretary Mary Muthoni has launched the Women In Healthcare Kenya Caucus and urged female health workers to utilize government-funded scholarships for advanced training, noting that these opportunities are predominantly being taken up by men.

• The PS revealed that scholarships meant for professional development in public health facilities are largely being claimed by men, despite being available to all healthcare workers.
• Key figures involved include PS Mary Muthoni and Dr. Jacqueline Kitulu, President of the World Medical Association.
• The new caucus aims to provide a platform for women in the healthcare sector to connect, share experiences, and advance their leadership roles, promoting a more skilled and inclusive health system.
