Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Kenya is reconsidering their ties with the WHO, based on mistrust in some campaigns ran in the past. These campaigns have made several women infertile according to the speaker.
Kenya is investigating multiple approaches to enhance its health systems and tackle possible challenges after the United States declared its intention to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO).
Dr. Patrick Amoth, the director-general of health, stated that Kenya seeks to enhance bilateral health partnerships by collaborating with other countries and organizations to address the funding and expertise voids created by the US decision, ensuring that Kenya’s health priorities stay preserved.
This reconsideration also comes after the US decided to cut ties with the WHO under President Trump’s office.
On Monday, the United States announced its intention to withdraw from WHO, a move that marks a major shift in global health diplomacy and has far-reaching implications for public health, particularly in countries like Kenya.
“Collaboration with international partners is critical to ensure that our health priorities are not compromised,” Dr Amoth told journalists at the ministry headquarters on Wednesday, January 22.
He stressed the need for Kenya to advocate for multilateral support through the African Union and other global platforms to keep Africa’s health needs on the agenda.
