Hon.

He underscored the importance of coordinated action in addressing HIV and other syndemic diseases and ensuring that quality health services reach all Kenyans.
The Cabinet Secretary further recognised NSDCC’s contribution to building resilient health systems through advocacy, partnership and coordination, reaffirming that collaboration remains central to improving health outcomes and accelerating progress towards ending HIV as a public health threat.
The recognition reflects the critical role played by NSDCC in coordinating Kenya’s multisectoral HIV and syndemic response and advancing a healthier, more resilient nation.
