Kenya and the United States have officially launched a $1.6 billion health partnership after months of legal disputes delayed its implementation. The five-year agreement aims to strengthen disease surveillance, healthcare systems and emergency preparedness across the country.
The Kenyan and U.S. governments have finalized plans to implement the Kenya–U.S. Health Cooperation Partnership, ending months of uncertainty surrounding one of the country's largest health agreements.
Treasury Principal Secretary Chris Kiptoo confirmed that both governments had agreed to proceed with the five-year programme, valued at $1.6 billion (KSh207 billion), following a series of court rulings and consultations.
The announcement came after a meeting between Kiptoo and U.S. Chargé d'Affaires Susan Burns in Nairobi.
