Kenya will host the 2026 World Health Summit (WHS) Regional Meeting which will bring together over 2,000 global health leaders, policymakers, innovators, and researchers. The announcement was made during a facility tour by the Aga Khan University (AKU) at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), the official venue of the summit to take place from April 27–29, 2026, under the theme, “Reimagining Africa’s Health Systems: Innovation, Integration, and Interdependence.” The Summit underscores Kenya’s rising profile as a preferred Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) destination and highlights the role of conference tourism as one of the fastest-growing global sub-sectors, valued at billions of dollars annually. “This is a significant milestone not only for our University and Kenya but for Africa’s health and development agenda. The summit will spotlight African-led solutions while shaping the broader global health conversation,” said Professor Lukoye Atwoli, Dean of AKU Medical College, East Africa, and Incoming International President of the WHS Regional Meeting 2026.
