The Ministry of Health says it will engage and partner with other countries to address funding gaps following the United States' decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO).

Speaking during a press briefing on Wednesday, January 22, Health Director- General Patrick Amoth detailed plans to collaborate with neighboring countries to strengthen regional health infrastructure and improve disease surveillance.  The ministry is also pursuing partnerships with non-U.S.

donors, including the European Union, the Gates Foundation, and China, to support Kenya's health systems.

Amoth said Kenya will also mobilize local resources to sustain critical health programs, such as polio eradication, HIV/AIDS prevention, and maternal health, which previously relied heavily on U.S.
