The discussions built on nearly 30 years of collaboration, with focus on expanding joint efforts in health workforce development, vaccine manufacturing technology transfer, and local production of essential health products. These areas are seen as critical to advancing Kenya’s health system transformation and ensuring better outcomes for citizens. Dr. Oluga reaffirmed the government’s commitment to sustainable health solutions rooted in local innovation and manufacturing capacity. Mr. Gilbert praised Kenya’s leadership in driving reforms and highlighted PATH’s role in providing technical expertise and facilitating knowledge exchange to accelerate progress. Mr. Gilbert was joined by Dr. Nanthalile Mugala (Chief of Africa Region), Caroline Moor Larson (Head of Operations, Office of the President), and Carolyne Njuguna (Director of the East Africa Hub).
