Kenyaโs Health Sector reforms have created new opportunities to strengthen the prevention, early detection and management of HIV and other syndemic diseases by bringing services closer to communities and strengthening county health systems.
Speaking at the Kenya Health Summit 2026, President William Ruto highlighted the shift towards prevention, early detection, treatment and efficient referral, supported by Community Health Promoters reaching households across the country.
The reforms have provided an important platform for integrating HIV and syndemic disease services into primary healthcare, improving access to prevention information, testing, treatment and referral while reducing financial and geographical barriers.
Cabinet Secretary for Health Aden Duale emphasised the critical role of counties in delivering UHC, noting that health reforms depend on collaboration between the National and County Governments. Investments in medicines, diagnostic equipment and health workers are strengthening services across counties. The NSDCC is leveraging the summits insights and lessons for a coordinated, integrated and people-centred response to HIV and other syndemic diseases.
