Kenya is set to host the 2026 World Health Summit (WHS) Regional Meeting, a high-level Conference expected to attract over 2,000 global health leaders, policymakers, innovators, and researchers at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi between April 27 and 29, 2026. The summit will run under the theme ‘Reimagining Africa’s Health Systems: Innovation, Integration, and Interdependence.’ Professor Lukoye Atwoli, Dean of AKU Medical College, East Africa, and Incoming International President of the 2026 WHS regional meeting, noted that the event is a historic milestone for both Kenya and Africa’s health agenda. “This is a significant milestone not only for our University and Kenya but also for Africa’s health and development agenda. The summit will spotlight African-led solutions while shaping the broader global health conversation,” explained Prof. Atwoli. He emphasised that AKU’s leadership in organising the summit reflects its growing global impact and influence as a thought leader in health, higher education, and innovation not just in East Africa but across the globe.
