When the conversation turns to the future of health in Africa, one truth stands out: transformation will not come from technology alone, but from the vision, resilience, and collaboration of those who dare to reimagine what’s possible.
At #WHXNairobi2025, PS Kenya stood at the heart of that conversation. Across panels and forums, one message resonated deeply: sustainable health systems are born from leadership that listens, innovates, and includes.
In a session powered by WomenLift Health, PS Kenya’s CEO, Dr. Margaret Njenga, joined an inspiring panel of women leaders to discuss “Leading the Future: Women Transforming Health Leadership in East Africa.” The dialogue highlighted a truth PS Kenya lives every day; that transforming health systems begins with transforming leadership. For us, that means building inclusive systems that empower women and men equally to lead change, ensuring that no voice is left behind in shaping Kenya’s health future.
In a world marked by economic uncertainty, shifting donor priorities, and widening health inequities, PS Kenya’s approach remains simple yet radical: build from within. That transformation means amplifying women-led innovation, strengthening local systems, and reimagining how public and private partnerships can deliver impact that lasts. It’s about moving from dependency to sustainability, from imported solutions to locally owned progress.
At the WHX Conference, the PS Kenya booth wasn’t just an exhibition space; it was a living story of how innovation meets impact. From self-care family planning products that empower women to locally driven solutions that enhance health access, every display reflected PS Kenya’s commitment to expanding choice, strengthening systems, and improving lives. Through these innovations, millions of Kenyans now have access to essential health products and services, from safe water to modern contraceptives, that promote healthier families and more resilient communities.
The Digital Health Transformation panel, led by PS Kenya, explored a future where digital health is not an add-on but a backbone integrated into policy, financing, and service delivery. The discussions reflected a shared desire to move from fragmented pilots to system-wide impact. Our digital work already shows what that looks like; connecting providers with real-time data, supporting counties with digital platforms for health insights, and improving decision-making that enhances service delivery. Because innovation, when grounded in evidence and scaled with intention, turns access into equity.
Kenya’s health landscape is evolving, shaped by decentralization, emerging technologies, and a renewed focus on Universal Health Coverage. Amid this complexity, PS Kenya continues to thrive, not because the path is easy, but because resilience is embedded in our DNA.
Through our social enterprise portfolio, including trusted brands like WaterGuard, which protects millions of households annually, and Femiplan, which empowers women to make informed reproductive choices, PS Kenya continues to deliver life-changing solutions through the market. This hybrid strength keeps us agile, innovative, and community-driven, even as we navigate a shifting funding landscape.
As Kenya advances toward UHC, our call is clear: invest not just in programs but in systems that sustain themselves; systems that are Kenyan-led, evidence-based, and globally resonant.
At PS Kenya, we don’t see the future of health as distant. It’s being built, one product, one innovation, one empowered leader at a time. Because for us, transformation isn’t a goal. It’s our everyday practice.
