The Kenyatta International Convention Centre in Nairobi buzzed with purpose yesterday as health officials, hospital executives, insurers, digital health innovators, healthcare students and public health advocates met for the first day of the 2026 Nation Health Summit.
Exhibition booths showcased everything from AI-enabled diagnostic equipment to localised pharmaceutical manufacturing solutions, a vivid demonstration of the sector's growing ambition.
Opening the summit, Nation Media Group's Head of Broadcasting Simaloi Dajom set a deliberately human tone. "Everyone has been a patient at a particular time," she told delegates. "We are all either infected or affected."
