Health is more than the absence of illness. Health is connection, culture, and dignity. Decolonizing healthcare means confronting discrimination, valuing indigenous knowledge, and restoring power over our own wellness. #HealthForAll #DecolonizeNow #DecolonizeHealth

Everyone deserves quality care — no matter their language, culture, or skin. True equity starts when we call out bias and build systems that serve everyone. #HealthForAll #DecolonizeHealth #KANCO

Key takeaway: meaningful partnerships are essential to scale innovation, equity, and dignity in healthcare delivery. #KenyaFrance #HealthForAll

Guillaume Gouffier Valente, MP Val-de-Marne, and the meeting was also attended by Mr. Mathew Black, UNITAID’s Kenya Engagement Manager, and Ms. Marina Hue, Governance and Board Relations Manager.
