The private sector commands approximately 45 percent of all goods, services, products and technologies in Kenya’s health sector. This is according to the Public Private Collaboration Strategy developed by the Ministry of Health.
Recent legal and regulatory reform initiatives in Kenya, coupled with the move towards sustainable health systems, presents various opportunities for increased participation of the private sector in the country’s healthcare. One such opportunity for public-private collaboration lies in digital ecosystems, which are set to play a critical role in the future of healthcare.
