In a significant move towards advancing healthcare in the nation, Kenyan government officials, including Health CS Nakhumicha S. Wafula, alongside Cabinet colleagues Prof Njuguna Ndung'u (Treasury), Ezekiel Machogu (Education), and Simon Chelugui (MSMEs), convened with World Bank Vice President for Human Development, Ms. Mamta Murti, in Nairobi on Wednesday.

The meeting highlighted the effectiveness of strategic planning, financing, and procurement practices in enhancing healthcare delivery nationwide.
Principal Secretaries for Social Protection Joseph Motari, Basic Education Dr. Belio Kipsang, and Youth Affairs Ismail Maalim Madey were among those present, emphasizing the government's comprehensive approach to healthcare advancement.
