Pan-African hub launched in Kenya to transform primary health care services

NAIROBI, Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- Kenya's Ministry of Health in partnership with VillageReach, an international health lobby, on Wednesday launched the Africa Regional Hub in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, to transform the delivery of primary health care services in the continent.

Gladys Mugambi, the head of the directorate of health promotion and education in the Ministry of Health, said the continental hub seeks to leverage digital tools, community engagement, peer learning and partnerships in a bid to ensure that preventive and promotive health services are available in hard-to-reach areas. She said the hub will foster innovation, research and collaboration required to achieve universal health coverage in the continent.
