Kenya Explores Healthcare Collaboration with Jordan to Enhance Medical Services

𝐍𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐢, 𝟓𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 – Principal Secretary for Medical Services, Mr. Harry Kimtai, today hosted H.E. Firas Khouri, Ambassador of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in Kenya, to discuss strategic healthcare collaborations. 

With Jordan having fully implemented Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and established itself as a hub for medical tourism, Kenya is looking to learn from its success, particularly in telemedicine and advanced cancer treatment technologies. 

 The partnership is expected to lead to the signing of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) aimed at strengthening Kenya’s healthcare system and addressing the growing challenge of over 50,000 Kenyans seeking medical treatment abroad annually. 

The collaboration aligns with Kenya’s commitment to expanding specialized healthcare services and reducing medical travel costs for its citizens.
