Opportunities in Kenya
In 2016, Task Force Health Care (TFHC) and Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF) performed a market study and fact-finding visit to identify opportunities for the Dutch Life Sciences & Health Sector in Kenya. The Kenyan healthcare sector is experiencing exciting times. The middle class has been growing, together with the economy, increasing the demand for quality accessible health services. The private sector has been vibrant with increased investments. At the same time, Kenya’s health sector faces enormous deficiencies in coverage and infrastructure. 32.5 million Kenyans lack any form of basic insurance and are treated in ill-equipped and poorly staffed facilities.
