Kenya Joins ‘Accord for a Healthier World’ Initiative

The Kenya Ministry of Health (MoH) and Pfizer Inc. announced that Kenya has joined ‘Accord for a Healthier World,’ a groundbreaking initiative which enables access to Pfizer medicines and vaccines on a not-for-profit basis to eligible lower and lower middle -income countries.   

This milestone and collaboration align with the Kenya Universal Health Coverage Policy 2020–2030 and reaffirm the Ministry of Health’s ongoing efforts to expand access to innovative health solutions that enhance the health and well-being of Kenyans. 

“This partnership with Pfizer under the Accord for a Healthier World is a timely boost to our national agenda for Universal Health Coverage. It will expand access to quality, life-saving medicines and vaccines for millions of Kenyans, particularly in underserved areas,” said Dr. Ouma Oluga, Principal Secretary for Medical Services. “Beyond improving availability, this collaboration will strengthen local capacity, address systemic access barriers, and align with our long-term vision of a resilient, inclusive and equitable health system for all.”  (Press release)
