Kenya is widely regarded as the economic, logistical, and innovation hub for Eastern Africa. Together with its growing economy, the health sector is expanding. Government plans are geared towards achieving universal health coverage (UHC) and the private sector is anticipating the growing middle class, regional medical tourism, and willingness of the government to work with the private sector in achieving UHC.
The Dutch Topsector Life Sciences & Health (LSH) identified Kenya as one of their focus countries in Eastern Africa. Since 2016, multiple efforts and activities have been undertaken to foster partnerships between Kenya and The Netherlands. Over the years, warm relations, knowledge, and experiences have accumulated that can be built upon by the Dutch LSH sector with an interest in Kenya.
Specifically targeting the growing number of Dutch organizations and companies interested in the Kenyan market segments for Medical Devices & Supplies and eHealth solutions, this report aims to provide a clear overview of the current market developments, market structure, areas of opportunities, and practical guidance for market entry and doing business.
This report was commissioned by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO.nl) and is produced by the Task Force Health Care (TFHC) and Africa Health Business (AHB).
