President William Ruto has stressed the need for a collaborative, multi-sectoral approach to effectively address the pressing health challenges in the region, with a particular focus on reducing maternal mortality rates.
He made these important remarks during a high-profile event held in conjunction with the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, drawing attention to the critical health issues that require immediate action.
In his address, Ruto showcased Kenya’s innovative strategy of deploying Community Health Promoters (CHPs) to deliver essential healthcare services directly to communities at the grassroots level.
“In Kenya, we have engaged Community Health Promoters to ensure that vital medical care reaches those in need, focusing on the health of women, children, and other vulnerable populations for a sustainable future,” he stated emphatically.
This progressive healthcare delivery model is designed to significantly reduce mortality rates among women and children, as well as other high-risk groups, thus contributing to the overall improvement of public health in the region.
The event was hosted by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and centered on the crucial global objective of securing the health and well-being of every woman, child, and adolescent.
Notable participants at the event included President of Liberia Joseph Boakai and Prime Minister of Tanzania Kassim Majaliwa.
Their presence highlighted the spirit of collaboration among African nations to tackle health disparities and promote well-being across the continent.
Ruto’s call for a unified approach underscores the urgent need for countries to work together, pooling resources and expertise to create effective health interventions that can lead to sustainable improvements in healthcare access and outcomes for vulnerable populations.
This initiative is vital for ensuring a healthier future for all citizens in the region.
