    Duale Rallies World Vision as Kenya Pushes Community Health Drive for Universal Care/Photo Courtesy. Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has held high-level discussions with World Vision Kenya as the government steps up plans to achieve Universal Health Coverage through strong community health systems. The meeting brought together senior officials from the Ministry of Health and World Vision Kenya to review ongoing cooperation and map out future priorities. Long-Standing Partnership Highlighted Duale met World Vision Kenya’s leadership, headed by Gilbert Kamanga, and confirmed the strength of an existing partnership that supports healthcare delivery in 33 counties. Currently, the collaboration reaches 288 public health facilities, offering services that target vulnerable communities across the country. Community Health at the Centre of Reforms The CS said Kenya’s health reforms are guided by the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda, which places Primary Health Care at the heart of service delivery. He pointed to the deployment of over 107,000 Community Health Promoters and the creation of 267 Primary Care Networks as key steps toward reaching households with basic and preventive care. Closing Gaps at the Grassroots Duale said the goal is to build a health system that starts at the community level, ensuring early care before illnesses worsen. He called on development partners to support areas where coverage is still limited, especially in remote regions. Priority Areas Identified Discussions also covered efforts to cut maternal and newborn deaths, improve child nutrition, expand water and sanitation services, and strengthen school health programmes. Special focus was placed on arid and semi-arid areas, where health challenges are often worsened by climate pressure. Progress and Remaining Challenges The Health CS noted improvements in child nutrition, with stunting levels reduced to 18 per cent. However, he stressed that continued investment is needed to protect at-risk groups and maintain these gains. Call for Long-Term Support Duale urged donors to move away from short-term projects and instead support long-term partnerships that strengthen the entire health system. He said such efforts should align with the government’s One Plan, One Budget approach for better coordination. Senior Officials in Attendance The meeting was also attended by Public Health Principal Secretary Mary Muthoni and Director-General for Health Patrick Amoth, underscoring the importance of the discussions to Kenya’s health agenda.
