“In healthcare, we witness loss every day, yet compassion must never fade. Human sustainability begins when leaders protect the humanity of their teams as fiercely as they protect their patients,” said Dr. Din.

“A resilient health system is a nation’s promise to protect its people today, and for generations to come,” said Dr. Daniel Yumbya, EBS, Director, IAMRA.

“Global health funding has saved millions of lives, but it must evolve from charity to collaboration. True progress demands that funders trust, empower, and invest directly in local expertise — because authentic allyship is about shifting power, not preserving it,” noted Dr. Samuel Oti, Senior Programme Specialist, IDRC Kenya.

Dr. Aliza Monroe-Wise, Consultant, WHO, and Chief Medical Officer, CarePoint Health, added, “Africa stands on the edge of a demographic goldmine. One in three people on Earth will be African within a century. If we invest in our youth, innovation, and health systems today, Africa will define the future.”

“We’re redefining access to diagnostics in Kenya by bringing testing closer to patients,” said Meshack Oduor Ouma, International Sales Executive for Randox East Africa & Zambia. “Our Vivalytic molecular platform consolidates multiple infectious disease targets into a single cartridge — reducing costs, turnaround time, and repeat visits. Our goal is to make rapid, accurate molecular testing available in every county.”

He added, “Kenya’s healthcare transformation depends not only on technology but also on sustainability. By offering long-shelf-life reagents and point-of-care systems, Randox is helping laboratories across East Africa deliver consistent, high-quality results that clinicians can trust.”

“As Kenya advances toward Universal Health Coverage, we share a vision — to make world-class surgical materials accessible to all hospitals, from referral to county level. Our goal is to support better surgical outcomes for every Kenyan,” Silva said.
