Kenya Healthcare Federation hosted the Kickoff meeting of Phase 3 of the Payer Provider Engagement in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), ThinkWell and Strategic Purchasing Africa Resource Centre (SPARC).

The Payer Provider Engagement is an initiative aiming to strengthen provider-payer engagements and reform strategic health purchasing to accelerate progress towards Universal Health Coverage in Kenya. Phase 3 of the initiative includes dissemination of the policy brief formulated and advocacy for adoption of the findings.

The timing is particularly strategic, considering the imminent political transition, hence the opportunity to inform the incoming government’s agenda and priorities in healthcare.
