The healthcare landscapes in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Nigeria are undergoing significant transformations as these countries strive to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

In Kenya, the government has recently enacted major healthcare reforms, including the Social Health Insurance Act, which aims to extend public healthcare coverage to all Kenyans.

Ethiopia has implemented a Health Extension Program that deploys community health workers to provide basic health services in rural areas, thereby making substantial progress in improving its healthcare system.

Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, has been working on strengthening its healthcare system through initiatives like the Basic Health Care Provision Fund, which aims to provide a basic minimum package of health services to all Nigerians.

Join us for the Health~Holland Digital Meet-Up Africa to get the latest insights on these important developments!

Our network in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Nigeria will present the latest trends and developments in the healthcare sectors of their respective countries.
