First Lady Mama Rachel Ruto today November 6, 2023, at State House, Nairobi oversaw the launch of mobile clinics, fridges, and transportation freezers which were destined for seven counties: Baringo, Marsabit, Samburu, Turkana, West Pokot, Mandera, and Isiolo.

The initiative is a result of the enduring collaboration between the Kenyan government, the German Government through the KFW Development Bank, and the Aga Khan University Hospital. The equipment provided is set to greatly benefit these counties, ensuring that medical service are brought closer to the people who need them.

The First Lady’s leadership and dedication to this cause deserve special commendation. Her role in bringing these critical resources to underserved regions demonstrates her unwavering commitment to the welfare of her fellow Kenyans. It’s a shining example of what can be achieved when leaders prioritize the needs of their constituents.

Furthermore, it’s important to acknowledge President’s efforts in reaching out to foreign countries, like Germany, to foster collaborations that yield such positive initiatives. These endeavours, despite some media scrutiny about the frequency of his travels, are bearing fruit and making a tangible difference in the lives of Kenyans.

 Mama Rachel Ruto’s initiative aligns with the Healthcare Pillar of the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda, providing accessible healthcare and contributing to the transformation of Kenya’s healthcare system.

In a healthcare landscape that is constantly evolving, this initiative, spearheaded by the First Lady, serves as a beacon of hope for Kenyans and exemplifies the power of international cooperation and leadership. It underscores the importance of primary healthcare and the positive change it can bring to the nation. Kenya is taking a significant step toward universal healthcare.
