Kenya is widely regarded as the economic, logistical, and innovation hub for Eastern Africa. Alongside its growing economy, the health sector is expanding rapidly. Government plans are focused on achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), while the private sector is anticipating the rise of the middle class, regional medical tourism, and increased government willingness to collaborate in reaching UHC goals. The Dutch Topsector Life Sciences & Health (LSH) has identified Kenya as one of its focus countries in Eastern Africa.
Since 2016, multiple initiatives and activities have been undertaken to foster partnerships between Kenya and the Netherlands. Over the years, warm relations, knowledge, and experience have been built that the Dutch LSH sector can further expand upon. Specifically targeting the growing number of Dutch organisations and companies interested in the Kenyan market for medical devices, supplies, and eHealth solutions, this report provides an overview of current market developments, market structure, areas of opportunity, and practical guidance for market entry and doing business.
This report was commissioned by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and produced by Task Force Health Care (TFHC) in cooperation with Africa Health Business (AHB).
