The summit, which will be held in September, provides a platform for participants to reflect on upscaling primary healthcare as a ladder for achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
Achievement of UHC is one of the key pillars of the Government of Kenya’s Big 4 Agenda that First Lady Margaret Kenyatta has been promoting through her Beyond Zero initiative which has so far delivered fully kitted mobile clinics to the 47 counties among other health promotion initiatives.
The first pre-summit meeting, facilitated by the Beyond Zero Secretariat under Coordinator Ms Angella Langat, Office of the First Lady’s Director of Administration Ms Eva Maina and Communication Director Ms Vivianne Ngugi, brainstormed and deliberated on the criteria and processes to be deployed in the selection of the outstanding nurses to be awarded during September summit.
