Trump’s Govt to Support Kenya’s 2026–2030 Health Plan

Kenya has stepped up efforts to operationalise the Bilateral Health Cooperation Framework 2026-2030, working closely with the United States Government (USG) and the Council of Governors to develop a comprehensive implementation plan.

The plan follows the signing of the landmark agreement on December 4,2025 and is expected to guide the transition and long-term sustainability of critical health investments, while strengthening collaboration between the two countries.

Health officials say the framework will play a central role in ensuring that Kenya maintains progress made in disease control and health system development, while expanding access to essential services across the country.
