Messages from national and county leadership guiding Kenya’s health integration journey.
Cabinet Secretary for Health
Ministry of Health, Kenya
Welcome to the Health Integration Summit 2026.
Kenya’s HIV response is a proud testament to our national resolve and global partnership. We have achieved remarkable progress, but now face a defining moment. As the global health landscape evolves, so must our approach. The integration of our successful HIV programmes into a stronger, more resilient primary healthcare system is not just a strategy, it is our pathway to sustainability and a cornerstone of our commitment to Universal Health Coverage.
This summit, under the theme “Health Without Barriers for a Holistic HIV Response,” is a call to unity and action. It brings together the collective brainpower and will of our nation’s leaders, county governments, partners, and communities. Our goal is clear: to co-create a future where quality HIV prevention, care, and treatment are seamlessly woven into the health services every Kenyan relies on, without stigma, without fragmentation, and without financial hardship.
I am confident that the partnerships forged and the frameworks developed here in Mombasa will solidify Kenya’s leadership in building a health system that is equitable, efficient, and truly leaves no one behind.
Thank you for your dedication to this critical mission.
Sincerely,
Hon. Aden Duale, EGH
Principal Secretary
State Department for Medical Services,
Ministry of Health, Kenya
Welcome to this pivotal gathering.
Our journey towards an integrated health system is fundamentally about improving the patient experience. For too long, Kenyans have navigated separate pathways for HIV, for chronic conditions, and for primary care. This summit is our opportunity to dismantle those silos and build a cohesive, patient-centered model where comprehensive care is delivered efficiently and with dignity at the primary level.
The integration of specialized HIV services into our broader medical infrastructure, leveraging digital tools, strengthening supply chains, and optimizing our skilled workforce, is critical for long-term sustainability. I look forward to engaging with clinicians, county health teams, and innovators to translate this vision into actionable plans that will enhance service delivery and outcomes across the nation.
Your expertise is vital to this transformation.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ouma Oluga
Principal Secretary
State Department for Public Health & Professional Standards
Ministry of Health, Kenya
A warm welcome to all delegates.
True integration begins where health services meet the community. Our formidable network of Community Health Promoters and public health officers is the backbone of a sustainable HIV response. This summit challenges us to empower this frontline workforce with the skills, tools, and systems they need to deliver integrated, preventive, and promotive care within their communities.
By anchoring our strategies in robust public health principles, prevention, health promotion, surveillance, and community engagement, we ensure that the integrated model we build is not only medically sound but also culturally attuned and widely accessible. Let us use this platform to strengthen the bridges between national policy and county implementation, ensuring every Kenyan benefits from a resilient, people-focused health system.
Your commitment to public health excellence is the key to our success.
Sincerely,
Mary M. Muriuki, CBS
Director General for Health
Ministry of Health, Kenya
Welcome to the Health Integration Summit 2026.
Kenya stands at a pivotal moment in its HIV response. Having achieved remarkable progress with 97-87-83 against the UNAIDS targets, we now face the critical challenge of sustaining these gains in an era of evolving donor landscapes and fiscal pressures. The traditional vertical model has served us well but integrating HIV services into our robust Primary Health Care (PHC) and Universal Health Coverage (UHC) systems is no longer an option it is an imperative for sustainability, efficiency, and equity.
This summit, themed “Health Without Barriers for a Holistic HIV Response,” is our national platform to confront this transition head-on. Over five days in Mombasa, we will bring together county health executives, development partners, community advocates, and innovators to build a shared roadmap. Our focus will be on practical solutions: strengthening our health workforce, leveraging digital technologies, securing sustainable financing, and ensuring our supply chains are resilient.
The insights from our 2024 inaugural summit and the subsequent county assessments have laid the groundwork. Now, we must move from dialogue to decisive action. This summit aims to crystallize our National Health Integration Framework and a concrete Sustainability and Financing Roadmap.
Your expertise and commitment are vital. Together, we will ensure that Kenya’s HIV response remains strong, integrated, and person-centred, leaving no one behind.
Thank you for joining this crucial national endeavour.
Sincerely,
Dr. Patrick Amoth, EBS
Council of Governors,
Chief Executive Officer
A warm welcome to all delegates
Integration is not optional, it is essential for sustainability, efficiency, and equity, especially as counties navigate donor transitions and increasing domestic responsibility for HIV services.
As we operationalize this, we are deliberately embedding HIV prevention, treatment, and long-term care within primary health care, linking it with TB, sexual and reproductive health, mental health, and NCD services. This approach reduces fragmentation, strengthens continuity of care, and ensures that people receive comprehensive services across their life course.
The Council of Governors welcomes you all to this summit and reaffirms its commitment to working with national government, development partners, and implementing agencies to manage a responsible donor transition, one that is planned, coordinated, and anchored at the county level.
Our message is clear: UHC will not be achieved without integrated HIV care, and integrated HIV care will not be sustained without UHC.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ms. Mary Mwiti,
National AIDS & STI Control (NASCOP)
Ministry of Health, Kenya
Welcome, colleagues and partners.
From the frontlines of Kenya’s HIV response, we at NASCOP see integration as the essential next chapter. It is about protecting the lives we have saved and improving the quality of life for every person living with or affected by HIV. This summit is a direct response to the realities our teams face in counties and health facilities, the need for efficient systems, sustainable resources, and holistic care.
We are here to translate high-level strategy into ground-level practice. Over the next five days, we will share the proven integration models emerging from our countries and counties, tackle the real bottlenecks in service delivery, and center the voices of communities in designing the way forward.
For years, we have operated a vertical system with substantial partner support and achieved remarkable results. However, over the past year, we have been compelled to reconsider what is achievable under emerging financing models. Regardless of which financing approach we adopt, we will not return to previous resource levels. This makes the summit key in providing a clear, practical, and funded outcomes plan that empowers every county to lead this transition.
Your on-the-ground experience and insights are what will make this summit a success. Let’s get to work.
Sincerely,
Dr Andrew Mulwa
